SCA: security update for mlflow (GHSA-2wqp-q3c6-ccj5)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 477208

Description

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

- MLflow is an open source AI engineering platform for agents, large language models, and machine learning
models. From 3.12.0rc0 until 3.17.0, the scorer invoke, register, and GenAI evaluate endpoints, including
unauthenticated POST /ajax-api/3.0/mlflow/scorer/invoke, accept serialized third-party scorer data that
Scorer.model_validate_json resolves using a module-path allowlist without constraining the selected class
or its constructor arguments. When optional trulens and trulens-providers-litellm packages are installed,
an attacker can select mlflow.genai.scorers.trulens, choose a model URI outside MLflow's native provider
registry so execution uses the LiteLLM fallback, and supply api_base and api_key values that cause the
server to send an outbound request to an attacker-chosen or internal host with attacker-controlled headers
and body. The vulnerable deserialization occurs before a tracking-store lookup or job submission. This
issue is fixed in version 3.17.0. (CVE-2026-115886)

Solution

Update the mlflow library and its related packages to version 3.17.0 or later.
