Unauthorized cross-origin requests via localhost alias bypass
Published May 29, 2025 · Updated Jun 1, 2025
CORS origin validation errors in Gradio 5.29.0 through 5.29.1 allow remote attackers to send unauthorized cross-origin requests. The is_valid_origin function treats any Host value absent from localhost_aliases as public and then accepts every Origin without validation. Exploitation requires a locally deployed app reached through an unlisted alias, such as an IPv6-mapped loopback address or a public domain resolving to loopback, and permits unauthorized API actions.
