How to fix?

Upgrade gradio to version 4.44.0 or higher.

Overview

gradio is a Python library for easily interacting with trained machine learning models

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Timing Attack due to the analytics_dashboard function. An attacker can infer the correct hash byte-by-byte by measuring the response time of different requests, leading to unauthorized access to the analytics dashboard.

Workaround

Access to the analytics dashboard can be disabled.
