SCA: security update for mlflow (GHSA-rvhj-8chj-8v3c)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 439854

Description

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

 - A command injection vulnerability exists in mlflow/mlflow when serving a model with
 `enable_mlserver=True`. The `model_uri` is embedded directly into a shell command executed via `bash -c`
 without proper sanitization. If the `model_uri` 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. (CVE-2026-0596)

Solution

Update the mlflow library and its related packages to version 3.9.0 or later.
