CVE-2026-59806
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedGradio before 6.20.0 contains an open redirect and server-side request forgery vulnerability that allows attackers to redirect users to arbitrary URLs or perform client-side SSRF by supplying unvalidated HTTP/HTTPS URLs to the file_fetch() function in the /gradio_api/file= endpoint. Attackers can craft a malicious FileData response targeting internal endpoints such as cloud metadata services to retrieve sensitive credentials including EC2 IAM role credentials.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysisThe application redirects the browser to a URL taken from user input without validating it, so an attacker can craft a link on your trusted domain that quietly bounces victims to a malicious site. It is a staple of phishing and token theft. The fix is to allow-list redirect destinations or use indirect reference keys, never a raw user-supplied URL.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedGradio 6.20.0 or later
- Upgrade Gradio to version 6.20.0 or later using your package manager (e.g., pip install gradio>=6.20.0)
- After upgrading, verify the installed version matches or exceeds 6.20.0 using: pip show gradio
- Review application code that uses the /gradio_api/file= endpoint or file_fetch() function to ensure no regressions
