Gradio 6.16.0 Patches Path Traversal, OAuth, and SSRF

Gradio has released version 6.16.0 with patches for three security vulnerabilities: a path traversal flaw in gr.FileExplorer, an open-redirect bypass in the OAuth flow, and Server-Side Request Forgery in Image, Gallery, and Audio component post-processing. The release also adds a configurable GRADIO_HEARTBEAT_INTERVAL environment variable and an improved MCP browser landing page.

Why It Matters

Gradio is widely deployed in ML demos, research interfaces, and production AI UIs. Path traversal and SSRF vulnerabilities in shared multi-user environments represent meaningful attack surface — any public-facing Gradio deployment should upgrade immediately.
