Remote code execution via unsanitized rename filenames
Published Jul 8, 2026 · Updated Jul 8, 2026
Stored XSS in JupyterLab Git 0.30.0b3 and later before 0.54.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute code via crafted filenames. The PlainTextDiff.ts createHeader() method concatenates a renamed Git filename into a diff header and assigns it to innerHTML without sanitization. Exploitation requires commit access to a shared repository and a victim to open the renamed file's diff; the script can create a JupyterLab terminal and run shell commands with the victim's access.
