GHSA-48cq-79qq-6f7x
MEDIUMGradio applications running locally vulnerable to 3rd party websites accessing routes and uploading files
EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.

Description
Impact
This CVE covers the ability of 3rd party websites to access routes and upload files to users running Gradio applications locally. For example, the malicious owners of www.dontvisitme.com could put a script on their website that uploads a large file to http://localhost:7860/upload and anyone who visits their website and has a Gradio app will now have that large file uploaded on their computer
Patches
Yes, the problem has been patched in Gradio version 4.19.2 or higher. We have no knowledge of this exploit being used against users of Gradio applications, but we encourage all users to upgrade to Gradio 4.19.2 or higher.
Fixed in: https://github.com/gradio-app/gradio/commit/84802ee6a4806c25287344dce581f9548a99834a CVE: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-1727

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
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.
Fix
Update gradio to 4.19.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-48cq-79qq-6f7x is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
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 O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-48cq-79qq-6f7x is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-48cq-79qq-6f7x. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-48cq-79qq-6f7x in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-48cq-79qq-6f7x across PyPI dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
