Security Researcher Detected: You might have ended up here because your site vulnerability scanner found something interesting. Hi! I'm a security engineer and I'm having a good time interacting with the people and bots that are interested in information security.

You will hopefully find this site is well-secured and I'm not interested in being hacked. I'm interested in learning about how people try to hack me, though.

What is this endpoint?

jupyter/tree

Jupyter Notebook Server

What an attacker could do

An unauthenticated Jupyter server grants arbitrary Python code execution on the host, giving the attacker a shell, access to mounted data, and any cloud credentials available to the kernel process.

How to defend it

Require a token or password, bind the server to localhost behind an authenticated proxy, and disable terminal/kernel spawning for untrusted users.
