A command injection vulnerability exists in MLflow's model serving container initialization code, specifically in the installmodeldependenciestoenv() function. When deploying a model with envmanager=LOCAL, MLflow reads dependency specifications from the model artifact's pythonenv.yaml file and directly interpolates them into a shell command without sanitization. This allows an attacker to supply a malicious model artifact and achieve arbitrary command execution on systems that deploy the model. The vulnerability affects versions 3.8.0 and is fixed in version 3.8.2.
A vulnerability in the createmodelversion() handler of mlflow/server/handlers.py in mlflow/mlflow versions 3.9.0 and earlier allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to read arbitrary files from the server's filesystem. The issue arises when a CreateModelVersion request includes the tag mlflow.prompt.isprompt, which bypasses source path validation. This enables an attacker to store an arbitrary local filesystem path as the model version source. The getmodelversionartifacthandler() function later uses this source to serve files without verifying the model version's prompt status, leading to a complete confidentiality compromise. This issue is fixed in version 3.10.0.
A vulnerability in mlflow/mlflow versions prior to 3.11.0 allows for the resolution of environment variables in AI Gateway secrets, which can be exploited to exfiltrate sensitive server-side environment credentials to an attacker-controlled endpoint. This issue arises because the apikey field in gateway secrets can accept $ENVVAR references, which are resolved against the MLflow server's environment during runtime. The resolved secrets are then sent in provider authentication headers to the configured upstream apibase. This vulnerability can be exploited by low-privileged authenticated users in basic-auth deployments or by unauthenticated users in default deployments without basic-auth. The impact includes potential leakage of sensitive credentials such as cloud artifact credentials (AWSACCESSKEYID, AWSSECRETACCESSKEY), which could lead to artifact poisoning and cross-boundary code execution in downstream environments. The issue is fixed in version 3.11.0.
In mlflow/mlflow versions prior to 3.11.0, the getorcreatenfstmpdir() function in mlflow/utils/fileutils.py creates temporary directories with world-writable permissions (0o777), and the createmodeldownloadingtmpdir() function in mlflow/pyfunc/init.py creates directories with group-writable permissions (0o770). These insecure permissions allow local attackers to tamper with model artifacts, such as cloudpickle-serialized Python objects, and achieve arbitrary code execution when the tampered artifacts are deserialized via cloudpickle.load(). This vulnerability is particularly critical in environments with shared NFS mounts, such as Databricks, where NFS is enabled by default. The issue is a continuation of the vulnerability class addressed in CVE-2025-10279, which was only partially fixed.
In mlflow/mlflow versions up to 3.9.0, the SearchModelVersions REST API endpoint and the mlflowSearchModelVersions GraphQL query lack proper per-model authorization checks when basic authentication is enabled. This allows any authenticated user to enumerate all model versions across all registered models, regardless of their permission level. The issue arises due to the absence of SearchModelVersions in the BEFOREREQUESTVALIDATORS and AFTERREQUESTHANDLERS for the REST API, and its omission from GraphQLAuthorizationMiddleware.PROTECTEDFIELDS for GraphQL. This vulnerability can expose sensitive information such as model names, version descriptions, source URIs, tags, and other metadata, potentially revealing proprietary or confidential details in multi-tenant environments. The issue is resolved in version 3.10.0.
A flaw has been found in MLflow up to 3.10.0. This issue affects the function mlflow.data.digestutils of the file mlflow/data/digestutils.py of the component Dataset Digest Computation. This manipulation causes use of weak hash. It is possible to launch the attack on the local host. The attack is considered to have high complexity. The exploitability is assessed as difficult. The exploit has been published and may be used. The project was informed of the problem early through a pull request but has not reacted yet.
A command injection vulnerability exists in mlflow/mlflow when serving a model with enablemlserver=True. The modeluri is embedded directly into a shell command executed via bash -c without proper sanitization. If the modeluri contains shell metacharacters, such as $() or backticks, it allows for command substitution and execution of attacker-controlled commands. This vulnerability affects the latest version of mlflow/mlflow and can lead to privilege escalation if a higher-privileged service serves models from a directory writable by lower-privileged users.
A vulnerability in MLflow versions <=3.10.1.dev0 allows unauthorized access to multipart upload (MPU) endpoints when the --serve-artifacts mode is enabled. The authorization logic does not enforce resource-level permission checks for /mlflow-artifacts/mpu/ endpoints, enabling attackers to overwrite artifacts belonging to other users. This can lead to unauthorized cross-user writes, model supply chain poisoning, and arbitrary code execution when compromised models are loaded. The issue is resolved in version 3.10.0.
MLflow 3.9.0 with basic-auth (--app-name basic-auth) fails to enforce authorization checks for multiple Gateway API 'list' endpoints. Specifically, the BEFOREREQUESTHANDLERS dictionary in mlflow/server/auth/init.py does not include entries for ListGatewaySecretInfos, ListGatewayEndpoints, and ListGatewayModelDefinitions. This allows any authenticated user, regardless of their assigned permissions, to enumerate all gateway secrets, endpoints, and model definitions. This vulnerability exposes sensitive information, such as API keys, endpoint configurations, and proprietary model definitions, to unauthorized users.
In MLflow version 3.9.0, the MLflow Assistant feature introduced improper origin validation in its /ajax-api endpoints. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to exploit cross-origin requests from a malicious webpage to interact with the MLflow Assistant running on a victim's local machine. By bypassing the loopback-only restriction, the attacker can modify the Assistant's configuration to enable full access, which in turn allows the execution of arbitrary commands via the Claude Code sub-agent. This issue is resolved in version 3.10.0.
In the latest version of mlflow/mlflow, when the basic-auth app is enabled, tracing and assessment endpoints are not protected by permission validators. This allows any authenticated user, including those with NOPERMISSIONS on the experiment, to read trace information and create assessments for traces they should not have access to. This vulnerability impacts confidentiality by exposing trace metadata and integrity by allowing unauthorized creation of assessments. Deployments using mlflow server --app-name=basic-auth are affected.
A vulnerability in MLflow's pyfunc extraction process allows for arbitrary file writes due to improper handling of tar archive entries. Specifically, the use of tarfile.extractall without path validation enables crafted tar.gz files containing .. or absolute paths to escape the intended extraction directory. This issue affects the latest version of MLflow and poses a high/critical risk in scenarios involving multi-tenant environments or ingestion of untrusted artifacts, as it can lead to arbitrary file overwrites and potential remote code execution.
A path traversal vulnerability exists in the extractarchivetodir function within the mlflow/pyfunc/dbconnectartifactcache.py file of the mlflow/mlflow repository. This vulnerability, present in versions before v3.7.0, arises due to the lack of validation of tar member paths during extraction. An attacker with control over the tar.gz file can exploit this issue to overwrite arbitrary files or gain elevated privileges, potentially escaping the sandbox directory in multi-tenant or shared cluster environments.
A command injection vulnerability exists in mlflow/mlflow versions before v3.7.0, specifically in the mlflow/sagemaker/init.py file at lines 161-167. The vulnerability arises from the direct interpolation of user-supplied container image names into shell commands without proper sanitization, which are then executed using os.system(). This allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands by supplying malicious input through the --container parameter of the CLI. The issue affects environments where MLflow is used, including development setups, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud deployments.
A Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability exists in MLflow versions prior to 3.9.0. The createwebhook() function in mlflow/server/handlers.py accepts a user-controlled url parameter without validation, and the sendwebhookrequest() function in mlflow/webhooks/delivery.py sends HTTP POST requests to this attacker-controlled URL. This allows an authenticated attacker to force the MLflow backend to send HTTP requests to internal services, cloud metadata endpoints, or arbitrary external servers. The lack of input sanitization, URL scheme filtering, or allowlist validation on the webhook URL enables exploitation, potentially leading to cloud credential theft, internal network access, and data exfiltration.
A vulnerability in mlflow/mlflow versions 3.9.0 and earlier allows unauthenticated access to certain FastAPI routes when the server is started with authentication enabled (--app-name basic-auth) and served via uvicorn (ASGI). The FastAPI permission middleware only enforces authentication on /gateway/ routes, leaving other routes such as the Job API (/ajax-api/3.0/jobs/) and the OpenTelemetry trace ingestion API (/v1/traces) unprotected. This allows unauthenticated remote attackers to submit jobs, read job results, cancel running jobs, and inject arbitrary trace data into experiments. The issue arises from an architectural mismatch between Flask and FastAPI authentication mechanisms, where the findfastapivalidator() function fails to handle non-/gateway/ paths, resulting in a complete authentication bypass. This vulnerability is fixed in version 3.10.0.
In mlflow version 2.20.3, the temporary directory used for creating Python virtual environments is assigned insecure world-writable permissions (0o777). This vulnerability allows an attacker with write access to the /tmp directory to exploit a race condition and overwrite .py files in the virtual environment, leading to arbitrary code execution. The issue is resolved in version 3.4.0.
