CVE-2025-30370

Description

A flaw was found in jupyterlab-git. On many platforms, a third party can create a Git repository under a name that includes a shell command substitution string in the syntax $(). These directory names are allowed in macOS and a majority of Linux distributions. If a user starts jupyter-lab in a parent directory of this inappropriately-named Git repository, opens it, and clicks "Git > Open Git Repository in Terminal" from the menu bar, then the injected command is run in the user's shell without the user's permission.

This issue allows for arbitrary code execution via command injection. A wide range of actions are permitted by this issue, including but not limited to: modifying files, exfiltrating data, halting services, or compromising the server's security rules.

Statement

Red Hat Product Security has determined that this vulnerability does not affect any currently supported Red Hat product.

Mitigation

It is recommended that users upgrade to the patched versions. However, if a user is unable to upgrade, there are 3 different ways to mitigate this vulnerability without upgrading to a patch.

- Disable terminals on jupyter-server level:
   c.ServerApp.terminals_enabled = False

- Disable the terminals server extension:
   jupyter server extension disable jupyter_server_terminals

- Disable the lab extension:
   jupyter labextension disable @jupyterlab/terminal-extension

Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details

Info alert:Important note

CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).

The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.

Understanding the Weakness (CWE)

Confidentiality,Integrity,Availability,Non-Repudiation

Technical Impact: Execute Unauthorized Code or Commands; DoS: Crash, Exit, or Restart; Read Files or Directories; Modify Files or Directories; Read Application Data; Modify Application Data; Hide Activities

Attackers could execute unauthorized operating system commands, which could then be used to disable the product, or read and modify data for which the attacker does not have permissions to access directly. Since the targeted application is directly executing the commands instead of the attacker, any malicious activities may appear to come from the application or the application's owner.
