CVE-2020-26250: Incorrect Authorization

December 1, 2020 (updated October 1, 2024)

In oauthenticator, the deprecated (in jupyterhub ) configuration Authenticator.whitelist, which should be transparently mapped to Authenticator.allowed_users with a warning, is instead ignored by OAuthenticator classes, resulting in the same behavior as if this configuration has not been set.
