CVE-2026-44727: Jupyter Server: Stored XSS in `NbconvertFileHandler` / `NbconvertPostHandler` via missing `sandbox` CSP
(updated )
The nbconvert HTTP handlers in jupyter_server render user-authored notebook HTML under the Jupyter origin without a sandbox directive in their Content-Security-Policy.
Combined with nbconvert.HTMLExporter’s default non-sanitizing behavior, a notebook carrying an HTML payload in a display_data output triggers stored XSS with cookie access, full /api/* authority, and kernel RCE.
