Description

CVE-2026-66298 is an origin validation error vulnerability in livebook-dev's livebook software that allows untrusted JavaScript in notebook outputs to trigger session-wide keyboard shortcuts. This can cause forced evaluation of all notebook cells and runtime restarts without user consent. The vulnerability arises because the trusted iframe forwards all keydown events to the parent page without verifying their authenticity, enabling malicious scripts to simulate genuine keystrokes. Affected versions include 0.5.0 before 0.18.7 and 0.19.0 before 0.19.9.
