How to Fix CVE-2024-10569

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Gradio dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

gradio fixed: Latest secure release 
pip install gradio>=Latest secure release
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

pip show gradio

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2024-10569, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show gradio

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Gradio in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than the patched release), your application is affected.

Note: The pip show gradio command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-475: Undefined Behavior for Input to API, where the behavior of this function is undefined unless its control parameter is set to a specific value. In Gradio, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

A vulnerability in the dataframe component of gradio-app/gradio (version git 98cbcae) allows for a zip bomb attack. The component uses pd.read_csv to process input values, which can accept compressed files. An attacker can exploit this by uploading a maliciously crafted zip bomb, leading to a server crash and causing a denial of service.
