Summary
Jupyter Server has a CORS Origin Validation Bypass via `re.match()` in `allow_origin_pat` (from huntr)
Details

Jupyter Server uses re.match() to validate the Origin header against the allow_origin_pat configuration.

Since re.match() only anchors at the start of the string, an attacker who controls a domain like http://trusted.example.com.evil.com/ passes validation against a pattern intended to match only trusted.example.com.

Impact

<=2.17.0

Workarounds

Wrap your allow_origin_pat value with ^ and $
