LTI JupyterHub Authenticator: Unbounded Memory Growth via Nonce Storage (Denial of Service)

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 25.03.2026 Published: 03.04.2026 Updated: 03.04.2026

LTI JupyterHub Authenticator is a JupyterHub authenticator for LTI. Prior to version 1.6.3, the LTI 1.1 validator stores OAuth nonces in a class-level dictionary that grows without bounds. Nonces are added before signature validation, so an attacker with knowledge of a valid consumer key can send repeated requests with unique nonces to gradually exhaust server memory, causing a denial of service. This issue has been patched in version 1.6.3.
