Which packages are affected by CVE-2024-47870?

CVE-2024-47870 affects the following packages: gradio (PyPI). Ecosystems affected: PyPI.

How do I fix CVE-2024-47870?

Update gradio to 5.0.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2024-47870 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2024-47870 in my PyPI dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for gradio. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

How do I mitigate CVE-2024-47870 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

How does O3 Security protect against CVE-2024-47870?

O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2024-47870 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is CVE-2024-47870 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2024-47870 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2024-47870?

CVE-2024-47870 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.4%, placing it in the 28th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2024-47870?

CVE-2024-47870 is classified as CWE-362 (CWE-362). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was CVE-2024-47870 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2024-47870 was published on October 10, 2024 and was last updated on April 10, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

Gradio is an open-source Python package designed for quick prototyping. This vulnerability involves a race condition in the update_root_in_config function, allowing an attacker to modify the root URL used by the Gradio frontend to communicate with the backend. By exploiting this flaw, an attacker can redirect user traffic to a malicious server. This could lead to the interception of sensitive data such as authentication credentials or uploaded files. This impacts all users who connect to a Gradio server, especially those exposed to the internet, where malicious actors could exploit this race condition. Users are advised to upgrade to gradio>=5 to address this issue. There are no known workarounds for this issue.
