Description

A flaw has been found in UsamaK98 python-notebook-mcp up to a05a232815809a7e425b5fa7be26e0d4369894c2. Impacted is the function create_notebook/read_notebook/edit_cell/add_cell of the file server.py. This manipulation causes path traversal. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been published and may…

Security SummaryAI

CVE-2026-7810 is a path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) affecting the UsamaK98/python-notebook-mcp project up to commit a05a232815809a7e425b5fa7be26e0d4369894c2. The flaw resides in the create_notebook, read_notebook, edit_cell, and add_cell functions within the server.py file. This open-source Python-based notebook management component uses a rolling release model, so no specific version ranges for affected or patched releases are available.

The vulnerability can be exploited remotely by unauthenticated attackers with low complexity and no user interaction required, as indicated by its CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L). Successful exploitation enables limited impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, allowing attackers to traverse paths and potentially access or manipulate files outside the intended directory via the affected endpoints.

Advisories from VulDB note that an exploit has been published and may be used in attacks, with the project informed early via GitHub issue #5 but receiving no response yet. No patches or mitigations are detailed in available references, including the project repository at https://github.com/UsamaK98/python-notebook-mcp/. Security practitioners should monitor the repository for updates and consider restricting network access to affected instances.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Access
Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.
attack.mitre.org →
T1005 Data from Local System Collection
Adversaries may search local system sources, such as file systems, configuration files, local databases, virtual machine files, or process memory, to find files of interest and sensitive data prior to Exfiltration.
attack.mitre.org →
Why these techniques?

Path traversal in remotely exposed server.py endpoints (create/read/edit notebook functions) is directly exploitable via T1190 against a public-facing application. Exploitation yields unauthorized read/write access to arbitrary local files, enabling T1005 for data collection from the local system.
