What is CVE-2024-47168?

CVE-2024-47168 is a low-severity missing authorization vulnerability in Gradio Project Gradio, published on 10 Oct 2024. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

Official description

Gradio is an open-source Python package designed for quick prototyping. This vulnerability involves data exposure due to the enable_monitoring flag not properly disabling monitoring when set to False. Even when monitoring is supposedly disabled, an attacker or unauthorized user can still access the monitoring dashboard by directly requesting the /monitoring endpoint. This means that sensitive application analytics may still be exposed, particularly in environments where monitoring is expected to be disabled. Users who set enable_monitoring=False to prevent unauthorized access to monitoring data are impacted. Users are advised to upgrade to gradio>=4.44 to address this issue. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

Weakness: CWE-670
