NVD description

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.

    MLflowの認証なしRCE(CVE-2026-116692、CVSS 9.8)。許可リストの前方一致がなぜ攻撃者のモジュールを通したのか。3.16.0と3.17.0のwheel差分から、完全一致化・コード実行の分離・認可チェックの変更を読み解きます。 https://x.com/i/article/2115293334272983041

    MLflow has a critical RCE flaw, CVE-2026-116692 (CVSS 9.8). On a server with no auth, anyone who can reach it can run Python code via scorer deserialization. Affects 3.12.0 up to 3.17.0. Fixed in 3.17.0. Update, and put auth in front of tracking servers. https://t.co/jRxrchLyA3

    Three MLflow flaws at once — worst is unauthenticated RCE to root. CVE-2026-116692: scorer deserialization lets attackers upload a malicious module and trigger server-side import. Official v3.14.0 image runs as uid 0. Fix: 3.17.0. Is your MLflow unauthenticated?
