AVID-2026-R1400

Description

Local File Inclusion in gradio-app/gradio (CVE-2024-1728)

Details

gradio-app/gradio is vulnerable to a local file inclusion vulnerability due to improper validation of user-supplied input in the UploadButton component. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability to read arbitrary files on the filesystem, such as private SSH keys, by manipulating the file path in the request to the /queue/join endpoint. This issue could potentially lead to remote code execution. The vulnerability is present in the handling of file upload paths, allowing attackers to redirect file uploads to unintended locations on the server.

Reason for inclusion in AVID: CVE-2024-1728 describes a local file inclusion vulnerability in the gradio-app/gradio package, a library commonly used to build and serve AI model UIs. This directly affects software used in AI pipelines (deployment, serving), is a security vulnerability (LFI with potential RCE), and the report provides evidence of impact and references. Therefore it is a candidate for AVID curation as a software supply-chain vulnerability affecting general-purpose AI systems.
