MEDIUMJupyterHub: Unauthenticated Denial of Service via Unbounded Username Logging on Failed Login
Title source: cnaDescription
JupyterHub is software that allows users to create a multi-user server for Jupyter notebooks. Prior to 5.5.0, invalid input to form-based login authenticators can place an unbounded attacker-controlled username in failed-login logs, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to consume logging and storage resources. This issue is fixed in version 5.5.0.
