Gradio is an open-source Python package for building web applications, but versions before 5.5.0 have a vulnerability in the File and UploadButton components that allows attackers to read any files from the application server by exploiting path traversal (a technique where attackers use file paths like '../../../' to access files outside their intended directory). This happens when these components are used to preview file content.

Langflow version 1.0.18 and earlier has a remote code execution vulnerability (RCE, where an attacker can run commands on a system they don't own) because components with code functionality execute on the local machine instead of in a sandbox (an isolated environment that limits what code can access). This allows any component to potentially execute arbitrary code.

Gradio version 4.42.0 and earlier contain a server-side request forgery vulnerability (SSRF, a flaw where a server can be tricked into making requests to unintended targets) in the gr.DownloadButton function. The issue exists because the save_url_to_cache function doesn't validate URLs properly, allowing attackers to download local files and access sensitive information from the server.

Ollama before version 0.1.46 has a security flaw where attackers can use path traversal (a technique that manipulates file paths to access files outside their intended directory) in the api/push route to discover which files exist on the server. This allows an attacker to learn information about the server's file system that should be private.

Ollama before version 0.1.34 has a vulnerability where the CreateModelHandler function improperly reads user-controlled file paths without limits, allowing an attacker to specify a blocking file like /dev/random, which causes a goroutine (a lightweight process in Go) to run infinitely and consume resources even after the user cancels their request. This is a resource exhaustion (CWE-404: Improper Resource Shutdown or Release) issue that can disrupt service availability.

A vulnerability in Ollama before version 0.1.46 allows an attacker to crash the application by uploading a malformed GGUF file (a model format file) using two HTTP requests and then referencing it in a custom Modelfile. This causes a segmentation fault (a type of crash where the program tries to access memory it shouldn't), making the application unavailable.

Ollama versions through 0.3.14 have a vulnerability where the api/create endpoint leaks information about which files exist on the server. When someone calls the CreateModel route with a path that doesn't exist, the server returns an error message saying 'File does not exist', which allows attackers to probe the server's file system.

Langflow v1.0.12 contains a remote code execution vulnerability (RCE, where an attacker can run commands on a system they don't own) in its PythonCodeTool component. This flaw allows attackers to execute arbitrary code through the tool. The vulnerability was publicly disclosed in October 2024.

PyTorch versions 2.4.1 and earlier contain a vulnerability in RemoteModule that allows RCE (remote code execution, where an attacker can run commands on a system they don't own) through deserialization of untrusted data. However, multiple parties dispute whether this is actually a security flaw, arguing it is intended behavior in PyTorch's distributed computing features (tools for running AI computations across multiple machines).
