SCA: security update for mlflow (GHSA-26p8-2jq9-3vq9)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 477693

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, third-party scorer deserialization in mlflow/genai/scorers/base.py
accepts request-selected descendants of THIRD_PARTY_SCORER_ALLOWED_MODULES rather than requiring an exact
allowed module. A caller can use MLflow artifact endpoints to place a Python module beneath a writable
allowed package and submit its module and class through /ajax-api/3.0/mlflow/scorer/invoke.
Scorer.model_validate_json() imports the module and constructs the class before trace processing.
Authentication-disabled deployments permit this code execution without credentials, while basic-auth
deployments require a principal capable of creating an experiment and run and uploading artifacts. In
either configuration, the allowed scorer package must be writable by the server process. This issue is
fixed in version 3.17.0. (CVE-2026-116692)

Solution

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