SCA: security update for mlflow (GHSA-5q6c-ffvg-xcm9)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 410974

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - A vulnerability in mlflow/mlflow version 8.2.1 allows for remote code execution due to improper
 neutralization of special elements used in an OS command ('Command Injection') within the
 `mlflow.data.http_dataset_source.py` module. Specifically, when loading a dataset from a source URL with
 an HTTP scheme, the filename extracted from the `Content-Disposition` header or the URL path is used to
 generate the final file path without proper sanitization. This flaw enables an attacker to control the
 file path fully by utilizing path traversal or absolute path techniques, such as '../../tmp/poc.txt' or
 '/tmp/poc.txt', leading to arbitrary file write. Exploiting this vulnerability could allow a malicious
 user to execute commands on the vulnerable machine, potentially gaining access to data and model
 information. The issue is fixed in version 2.9.0. (CVE-2024-0520)
