Mercury: Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution via /api/kernels

CVSS 9.8 EPSS <1%Fix available

[ Why it matters ]Priority signals

  • Critical severity: CVSS 9.8

[ Description ]Official description

Mercury is a Python framework for sharing Jupyter notebooks as web applications and dashboards. Prior to 3.2.6, default tokenless deployments allow anonymous clients to create Jupyter kernels and send execute_request messages containing arbitrary Python. The endpoint blocklist does not cover /api/kernels, and the websocket wrapper previously tracked idle activity without authorizing executable messages. This issue is fixed in version 3.2.6.
