CVE-2024-12217:
Gradio vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
A vulnerability in the gradio-app/gradio repository, version git 67e4044, allows for path traversal on Windows OS. The implementation of the blocked_path functionality, which is intended to disallow users from reading certain files, is flawed. This vulnerability has been assigned CVE-2024-12217 and was disclosed in March 2024 (NVD, Huntr).
Technical details
The vulnerability stems from a flaw in the blocked_path functionality implementation. While the application correctly blocks access to paths like 'C:/tmp/secret.txt', it fails to block access when using NTFS Alternate Data Streams (ADS) syntax, such as 'C:/tmp/secret.txt::$DATA'. The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.0 base score of 5.3 (Medium) with the vector string CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N. It is classified as CWE-22 (Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory) (NVD).
Impact
This vulnerability can lead to unauthorized reading of blocked file paths on Windows systems. The impact is primarily focused on confidentiality, allowing potential attackers to bypass intended file access restrictions (NVD).
