Vulnerability Data

A path traversal vulnerability exists in the Gradio Audio component of gradio-app/gradio, as of version git 98cbcae. This vulnerability allows an attacker to control the format of the audio file, leading to arbitrary file content deletion. By manipulating the output…

Adversaries may gather credentials from the proc filesystem or `/proc`.
T1003.008 /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow Credential Access
Adversaries may attempt to dump the contents of <code>/etc/passwd</code> and <code>/etc/shadow</code> to enable offline password cracking.
T1005 Data from Local System Collection
Adversaries may search local system sources, such as file systems, configuration files, local databases, virtual machine files, or process memory, to find files of interest and sensitive data prior to Exfiltration.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Input validation directly neutralizes the '\..\filename' sequence before pathname resolution occurs.

Access enforcement denies requests that resolve outside the intended directory even when the traversal sequence is present.

Secure SDLC practices directly require input validation and path sanitization that block this traversal vector.

blocks

Application security requirements can mandate input validation and path canonicalization to block traversal sequences.

blocks

A.8.27 mandates security-by-design principles (least privilege, default-deny, distrust-external-input, hardening, design review against attack patterns) that reach path-traversal neutralization in many but not all cases; business-process-specific controls, outsourced development, and residual design choices leave a bounded remainder unaddressed.

prevents

Secure coding standards directly require neutralizing path traversal sequences such as '\..\filename'.

finds

Security testing can discover path-traversal flaws but does not itself prevent them in production code.
