CVE-2024-12217: gradio-app/gradio path traversal on Windows via NTFS alternate data streams

Summary

CVE-2024-12217 affects the gradio-app/gradio repository at version git 67e4044 on Windows. The blocked_path check, meant to stop users from reading certain files, fails when a path uses NTFS Alternate Data Streams syntax, such as 'C:/tmp/secret.txt::$DATA', even though the plain path is blocked. This flaw allows unauthorized reading of blocked file paths.
