CVE-2026-2614Arbitrary File Read via Prompt Tag Source Validation Bypass in mlflow/mlflow
High 7.5
In plain English
A high-severity path traversal in mlflow/mlflow from mlflow. Proof-of-concept exploit code is public. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 3.7% (higher than 90% of all known vulnerabilities). Ready-made attack tooling exists: Nuclei. Fixed versions are available - upgrade the affected package.
Official description
A vulnerability in the `_create_model_version()` handler of `mlflow/server/handlers.py` in mlflow/mlflow versions 3.9.0 and earlier allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to read arbitrary files from the server's filesystem. The issue arises when a `CreateModelVersion` request includes the tag `mlflow.prompt.is_prompt`, which bypasses source path validation. This enables an attacker to store an arbitrary local filesystem path as the model version source. The `get_model_version_artifact_handler()` function later uses this source to serve files without verifying the model version's prompt status, leading to a complete confidentiality compromise. This issue is fixed in version 3.10.0.
