CVE detail

CVE-2025-53000

The nbconvert tool, jupyter nbconvert, converts Jupyter notebooks to various other formats via Jinja templates. 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.

Potential internet exposure

Potential exposure only — not proof of vulnerability.Shodan results indicate potentially internet-exposed products, not confirmed vulnerable systems. They do not confirm that any returned system is vulnerable to CVE-2025-53000.

Product-level CPE searches intentionally omit version fields and NVD version-range or configuration certainty. Verify the exact product version and configuration independently.

How this vector reads

CVSS 4.0 base metrics decoded below. This explanation does not recalculate or change the NVD score.

Attack Vector (AV): Local. The attacker needs local access to the vulnerable system.
Attack Complexity (AC): Low. No special conditions beyond the attacker-controlled steps are required.
Attack Requirements (AT): None. No prerequisite deployment or execution condition is required.
Privileges Required (PR): None. The attacker needs no privileges on the vulnerable system.
User Interaction (UI): Passive. A targeted user must unknowingly interact with the vulnerable system.
Vulnerable System Confidentiality (VC): High. There is a total or serious impact to this security property.
Vulnerable System Integrity (VI): High. There is a total or serious impact to this security property.
Vulnerable System Availability (VA): High. There is a total or serious impact to this security property.
Subsequent System Confidentiality (SC): None. There is no direct impact to this security property.
Subsequent System Integrity (SI): None. There is no direct impact to this security property.
Subsequent System Availability (SA): None. There is no direct impact to this security property.

Optional CVSS v4 metrics remain in the raw vector; only base metrics are expanded here.
