SCA: security update for gradio (GHSA-j2jg-fq62-7c3h)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 416066

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Gradio is an open-source Python package that allows quick building of demos and web application for
 machine learning models, API, or any arbitrary Python function. Gradio's Access Control List (ACL) for
 file paths can be bypassed by altering the letter case of a blocked file or directory path. This
 vulnerability arises due to the lack of case normalization in the file path validation logic. On case-
 insensitive file systems, such as those used by Windows and macOS, this flaw enables attackers to
 circumvent security restrictions and access sensitive files that should be protected. This issue can lead
 to unauthorized data access, exposing sensitive information and undermining the integrity of Gradio's
 security model. Given Gradio's popularity for building web applications, particularly in machine learning
 and AI, this vulnerability may pose a substantial threat if exploited in production environments. This
 issue has been addressed in release version 5.6.0. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known
 workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2025-23042)
