CVE-2026-6658

A vulnerability in jupyter/nbconvert versions <= 7.17.0 allows for Cross-site Scripting (XSS) via unsanitized `text/vnd.

A vulnerability in jupyter/nbconvert versions <= 7.17.0 allows for Cross-site Scripting (XSS) via unsanitized text/vnd.mermaid output in HTML exports. The data_mermaid block in share/templates/lab/base.html.j2 renders text/vnd.mermaid cell output directly into HTML without escaping, enabling attackers to inject arbitrary HTML/JavaScript by breaking out of the <pre> tag. This vulnerability impacts any server using nbconvert to render notebooks as HTML, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of users viewing the HTML export.

How to read a CVE - triage first, then detect and patch
This page is every public fact about CVE-2026-6658, cross-linked. Its job is to answer one question fast - does this need my attention now? - and then hand you the two things you do about it. Here is how an analyst reads it.
Triage: should I act now? Four signals, and they are not interchangeable:
CVSSseverity - how bad it is IF exploited, 0-10. A high CVSS alone is not urgency; a flaw can be a perfect 10 and never actually be attacked. EPSSprobability - a model’s estimate of the chance it is exploited in the next 30 days, 0-1. This is the “will it actually happen” signal. CISA KEVconfirmed - it is being exploited in the wild right now. The strongest signal on the page; KEV beats any score. Weaponisedavailability - public exploits / PoCs, and especially Metasploit modules rated Excellent / Great. Reliable, packaged exploit code means low-skill attackers can use it today.
How they combine: KEV, or a dependable Metasploit module, means patch now regardless of CVSS. High CVSS + low EPSS + no exploit is real but not an emergency - schedule it. Low CVSS but KEV-listed still gets patched now. The verdict above already weighed these for you; this is how it got there.
Then what - two workflows:
Detectwhen you cannot patch today, follow this CVE to the ATT&CK techniques it enables, then Build a SIEM detection (the green button) - author a rule, test it in Atomic, deploy it. That buys visibility while the patch waits. PatchAffected products / packages tell you if you are exposed; Fixed versions by distribution and Vendor advisories give the exact version that closes it.
Reading order for the panels below: verdict + badges, then Public exploits / Metasploit (is it weaponised), then ATT&CK techniques + Sigma / IDS rules (can I detect it), then Affected products / packages + Fixed versions (am I exposed, what patches it), then Threat actors / IOCs (who uses it), then Scoring & timeline / references (the evidence).

Exploitation evidence

1 of 7 sources
Corroboration score 8/100 · emerging. This counts how many independent sources have exploitation evidence, and separates two different things: confirmed in-the-wild use (CISA KEV, Microsoft MSRC, ransomware activity) from exploit / PoC availability (Metasploit, ExploitDB, Nuclei, public PoCs). A template or PoC existing means an attack is possible and easy - it is not, on its own, proof the CVE is being exploited in the wild.

ATT&CK techniques

1

Techniques this CVE enables. Pills with a solid outline are high confidence - named directly in ATT&CK or Nuclei, or human-curated by CTID; the rest are inferred from the weakness type using MITRE's CVE Mapping Methodology and the CWE → CAPEC chain. Broad, generic-weakness guesses are filtered out. A small marks a technique that N independent sources agree on.
