# CVE-2024-12217: Path Traversal in gradio-app/gradio

- Also known as: GHSA-PRPG-P95C-32FV, PYSEC-2026-1418
- Severity: CVSS 5.3 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=poc, automatable=yes, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Published: 2025-03-20 · Updated: 2025-03-20

## Affected

- gradio-app gradio-app/gradio: version range not reported
- gradio (PyPI): through 5.0.1

## Description

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. Specifically, 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'. This flaw can lead to unauthorized reading of blocked file paths.

## What to do
