 (CVE-2019-10255)

 It was discovered that Jupyter Notebook had an incomplete fix for CVE-2019-10255. An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform open-redirect attack using empty netloc. (CVE-2019-10856)

 It was discovered that Jupyter Notebook incorrectly handled the inclusion of remote pages on Jupyter server. An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform cross-site script inclusion (XSSI) attacks.
