SCA: security update for mlflow (GHSA-r23q-823p-vmf7)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 439578

Description

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

 - A command injection vulnerability exists in MLflow's model serving container initialization code,
 specifically in the `_install_model_dependencies_to_env()` function. When deploying a model with
 `env_manager=LOCAL`, MLflow reads dependency specifications from the model artifact's `python_env.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. (CVE-2025-15379)

Solution

Update the mlflow library and its related packages to version 3.8.1 or later.
