CVE-2024-47869: Gradio performs a non-constant-time comparison when comparing hashes

What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?

This vulnerability involves a timing attack in the way Gradio compares hashes for the analytics_dashboard function. Since the comparison is not done in constant time, an attacker could exploit this by measuring the response time of different requests to infer the correct hash byte-by-byte. This can lead to unauthorized access to the analytics dashboard, especially if the attacker can repeatedly query the system with different keys.
