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?

notebooks/api/kernels

Jupyter Kernel Management API

What an attacker could do

Access to the kernel API lets an attacker start kernels and execute arbitrary code in the notebook server's context, achieving full remote code execution and lateral movement.

How to defend it

Protect the API with token authentication, restrict it to localhost or an authenticated gateway, and run kernels in sandboxed, least-privilege containers.
