CVE-2022-24770: Improper Neutralization of Formula Elements in a CSV File in Gradio Flagging

highCVSS 3.1 8.8GHSA-f8xq-q7px-wg8c

Impact The gradio library has a flagging functionality which saves input/output data into a CSV file on the developer's computer. This can allow a user to save arbitrary text into the CSV file, such as commands. If a program like MS Excel opens such a file, then it automatically runs these commands, which could lead to arbitrary commands running on the user's computer.
