SCA: security update for gradio (GHSA-h3h8-3v2v-rg7m)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 438204

Description

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

- Gradio is an open-source Python package designed for quick prototyping. Starting in version 4.16.0 and
prior to version 6.6.0, Gradio applications running outside of Hugging Face Spaces automatically enable
"mocked" OAuth routes when OAuth components (e.g. `gr.LoginButton`) are used. When a user visits
`/login/huggingface`, the server retrieves its own Hugging Face access token via
`huggingface_hub.get_token()` and stores it in the visitor's session cookie. If the application is
network-accessible, any remote attacker can trigger this flow to steal the server owner's HF token. The
session cookie is signed with a hardcoded secret derived from the string `"-v4"`, making the payload
trivially decodable. Version 6.6.0 fixes the issue. (CVE-2026-27167)
