CVE-2026-73416
Description
A flaw was found in jupyterlab. The PyPI (Python Package Index) extension manager uses a custom normalization process for package names that is weaker than the official PyPI canonicalization. This allows an authenticated user to bypass blocklist restrictions by using an alternative spelling of a prohibited package name. Consequently, an attacker can install unauthorized extensions, compromise system integrity, and impact the availability of the JupyterLab environment.
