CVE-2022-24770
Improper Neutralization of Formula Elements in a CSV File in Gradio Flagging
In short
Gradio's flagging feature saves user input directly into CSV files without protection. When opened in Excel or similar programs, this allows attackers to inject and execute arbitrary commands on the user's computer.
Technical detail
CSV injection vulnerability in Gradio's flagging mechanism (CWE-1236) allows unauthenticated users to inject formula elements into exported CSV files. When a developer opens the malicious CSV in spreadsheet applications that auto-execute formulas, arbitrary OS commands can be executed with the privileges of the user opening the file. Fixed in version 2.8.11 via single-quote escaping.
Summary generated and translated by AI from the official description.
`gradio` is an open source framework for building interactive machine learning models and demos. Prior to version 2.8.11, `gradio` suffers from Improper Neutralization of Formula Elements in a CSV File. The `gradio` library has a flagging functionality which saves input/output data into a CSV file on the developer's computer. This can allow a user to save arbitrary text into the CSV file, such as commands. If a program like MS Excel opens such a file, then it automatically runs these commands, which could lead to arbitrary commands running on the user's computer. The problem has been patched as of `2.8.11`, which escapes the saved csv with single quotes. As a workaround, avoid opening csv files generated by `gradio` with Excel or similar spreadsheet programs.
