CVE-2024-51751Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Arbitrary file read via omitted FileData metadata

Published Nov 6, 2024 · Updated Nov 6, 2024

Path traversal in Gradio 5.0.0 through 5.4.0 allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary server files via crafted file data. async_move_files_to_cache invokes path validation only for dictionaries whose meta._type marks FileData; omitting that metadata leaves attacker-controlled paths unchecked for _process_single_file. The affected application must use File or UploadButton to upload and echo or preview content, and successful access discloses files readable by the server process.
