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.","cvss_v4":{"vector":"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","score":8.5},"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8},"cwes":["CWE-427"],"references":["https://github.com/jupyter/nbconvert/blob/4f61702f5c7524d8a3c4ac0d5fc33a6ac2fa36a7/nbconvert/preprocessors/svg2pdf.py#L104","https://github.com/jupyter/nbconvert/commit/c9ac1d1040459ed1ff9eb34e9918ce5a87cf9d71","https://github.com/jupyter/nbconvert/issues/2258","https://github.com/jupyter/nbconvert/releases/tag/v7.17.0","https://github.com/jupyter/nbconvert/security/advisories/GHSA-xm59-rqc7-hhvf"],"products":["jupyter:nbconvert"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:17:07.138532058+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2025-53000","score":0.0026,"percentile":0.17806,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-xm59-rqc7-hhvf","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-xm59-rqc7-hhvf","summary":"nbconvert has an uncontrolled search path that leads to unauthorized code execution on Windows","modified":"2026-09-10T03:50:32.307876772Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"nbconvert","purl":"pkg:pypi/nbconvert","ranges":["<7.17.0"],"fixed":["7.17.0"]}]},{"id":"PYSEC-2026-1691","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/PYSEC-2026-1691","summary":"nbconvert has an uncontrolled search path that leads to unauthorized code execution on Windows","modified":"2026-07-07T17:47:07.138450304Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"nbconvert","purl":"pkg:pypi/nbconvert","ranges":["<7.17.0"],"fixed":["7.17.0"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
