GHSA-pppj-hq3g-57pj: JupyterLab: Cross-site scripting (XSS) via crafted settings file (`overrides.json`)

July 22, 2026

JupyterLab 4.5+ allows notebook settings to be shared and applied through an overrides.json file using the Import button in the Settings Editor.

Certain notebook display settings were not properly validated before being applied. As a result, a crafted settings file could contain hidden instructions that run as code inside JupyterLab when imported, instead of only changing a display preference.

Because importing a settings file appears harmless, a user could import a file shared by another party without realizing it could do more. On multi-tenant file systems without proper permission control, another user could plant a malicious overrides.json.

CVE assignment pending, GitHub CNA is experiencing severe backlog
