Upgrade gradio to version 5.31.0 or higher.
Overview
gradio is a Python library for easily interacting with trained machine learning models
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary File Upload through the shutil.copy operation in the FileData._copy_to_dir() method. An attacker can disrupt server operations by copying large or system-critical files to exhaust disk resources by sending specially crafted requests to the /gradio_api/run/predict endpoint.
