CVE-2026-28415: Gradio open redirect in OAuth flow

CVE-2026-28415 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.3 · Published 2026-03-01

Gradio, a library used to build and share machine learning web applications, contains a flaw in its login and logout process. An attacker can create a specially crafted link that, when clicked by a user, redirects them from a trusted Gradio or Hugging Face domain to a malicious website. This can be used in phishing campaigns to trick users into providing credentials or downloading malware by exploiting their trust in the original domain.

Technologies: gradio (PyPI). Vendors: PyPI.

Technical details

An open redirect vulnerability exists in Gradio's OAuth implementation within the `_redirect_to_target()` function. The function retrieves a destination from the `_target_url` query parameter and passes it directly to a `RedirectResponse` without validation. This affects the `/logout` and `/login/callback` endpoints in applications where OAuth is enabled (such as those using `gr.LoginButton` on Hugging Face Spaces). An attacker can exploit this by sending a crafted URL to a victim, which will redirect them to an external malicious host after a successful login or logout action. The vulnerability is fixed in version 6.6.0 by sanitizing the parameter to only allow local paths.
