Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

The notebook package versions before 5.7.11 and from 6.0.0 before 6.4.1 are vulnerable. An attacker can supply a crafted notebook that executes code when a user opens it, which the advisory describes as remote code execution requiring user action. Upgrade to notebook 5.7.11 or 6.4.1.
