CVE-2024-39700: Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability in jupyterlab extension template `update-integration-tests` GitHub Action
JupyterLab extension template is a copier template for JupyterLab extensions. Repositories created using this template with test option include update-integration-tests.yml workflow which has an RCE vulnerability. Extension authors hosting their code on GitHub are urged to upgrade the template to the latest version. Users who made changes to update-integration-tests.yml, accept overwriting of this file and re-apply your changes later. Users may wish to temporarily disable GitHub Actions while working on the upgrade. We recommend rebasing all open pull requests from untrusted users as actions may run using the version from the main branch at the time when the pull request was created. Users who are upgrading from template version prior to 4.3.0 may wish to leave out proposed changes to the release workflow for now as it requires additional configuration.
