SCA: security update for mlflow (GHSA-xch3-2f9x-wh9f)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 438916

Description

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

 - 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.
 (CVE-2025-14287)

Solution

Update the mlflow library and its related packages to version 3.8.0rc0 or later.
