{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2025-53000","details":"The nbconvert tool, jupyter nbconvert, converts Jupyter notebooks to various other formats via Jinja templates. Versions of nbconvert up to and including 7.16.6 on Windows have a vulnerability in which converting a notebook containing SVG output to a PDF results in unauthorized code execution. Specifically, a third party can create a `inkscape.bat` file that defines a Windows batch script, capable of arbitrary code execution. When a user runs `jupyter nbconvert --to pdf` on a notebook containing SVG output to a PDF on a Windows platform from this directory, the `inkscape.bat` file is run unexpectedly. This issue has been patched in version 7.17.0.","modified":"2026-05-20T16:23:34.073289157Z","published":"2025-12-17T21:16:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2025-53000"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2025-53000"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-53000"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.imperva.com/blog/code-execution-in-jupyter-notebook-exports"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"nbconvert","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/nbconvert?arch=source&distro=bionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["4.2.0-4","5.3.1-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"jupyter-nbconvert","binary_version":"5.3.1-1"},{"binary_name":"python-nbconvert","binary_version":"5.3.1-1"},{"binary_name":"python3-nbconvert","binary_version":"5.3.1-1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2025/UBUNTU-CVE-2025-53000.json"}},{"package":{"name":"nbconvert","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:20.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/nbconvert?arch=source&distro=focal"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["5.4-2ubuntu2","5.6.0-1","5.6.0-2","5.6.1-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"jupyter-nbconvert","binary_version":"5.6.1-1"},{"binary_name":"python3-nbconvert","binary_version":"5.6.1-1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2025/UBUNTU-CVE-2025-53000.json"}},{"package":{"name":"nbconvert","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:22.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/nbconvert?arch=source&distro=jammy"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["5.6.1-3","6.1.0-1","6.3.0-1","6.4.0-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"jupyter-nbconvert","binary_version":"6.4.0-1"},{"binary_version":"6.4.0-1","binary_name":"python3-nbconvert"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2025/UBUNTU-CVE-2025-53000.json"}},{"package":{"name":"nbconvert","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:24.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/nbconvert?arch=source&distro=noble"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["6.5.3-4","6.5.3-5"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"jupyter-nbconvert","binary_version":"6.5.3-5"},{"binary_name":"python3-nbconvert","binary_version":"6.5.3-5"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2025/UBUNTU-CVE-2025-53000.json"}},{"package":{"name":"nbconvert","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:25.10","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/nbconvert?arch=source&distro=questing"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["7.16.6-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"jupyter-nbconvert","binary_version":"7.16.6-1"},{"binary_version":"7.16.6-1","binary_name":"python3-nbconvert"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2025/UBUNTU-CVE-2025-53000.json"}},{"package":{"name":"nbconvert","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:26.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/nbconvert?arch=source&distro=resolute"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["7.16.6-1","7.17.0-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"jupyter-nbconvert","binary_version":"7.17.0-1"},{"binary_name":"python3-nbconvert","binary_version":"7.17.0-1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2025/UBUNTU-CVE-2025-53000.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"},{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
