🛡️ CVE-2026-34052 — jupyterhub-ltiauthenticator
Description
LTI JupyterHub Authenticator: Unbounded Memory Growth via Nonce Storage (Denial of Service)
Summary

Nonces are added before signature validation, so an attacker with knowledge of a valid consumer key can send repeated requests with unique nonces to gradually exhaust server memory, causing a denial of service.
Patches
- upgrade jupyterhub-litauthenticator to 1.6.3
