SCA: security update for mlflow (GHSA-vwhf-3v6x-wff8)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 419578

Description

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

 - A reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the mlflow/mlflow repository, specifically
 within the handling of the Content-Type header in POST requests. An attacker can inject malicious
 JavaScript code into the Content-Type header, which is then improperly reflected back to the user without
 adequate sanitization or escaping, leading to arbitrary JavaScript execution in the context of the
 victim's browser. The vulnerability is present in the mlflow/server/auth/__init__.py file, where the user-
 supplied Content-Type header is directly injected into a Python formatted string and returned to the user,
 facilitating the XSS attack. (CVE-2023-6568)
