Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
**What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?**
This vulnerability involves a **race condition** in the `update_root_in_config` function, allowing an attacker to modify the `root` URL used by the Gradio frontend to communicate with the backend. By exploiting this flaw, an attacker can redirect user traffic to a malicious server. This could lead to the interception of sensitive data such as authentication credentials or uploaded files. This impacts all users who connect to a Gradio server, especially those exposed to the internet, where malicious actors could exploit this race condition.
### Patches
Yes, please upgrade to `gradio>=5` to address this issue.
