mlflow vulnerable to Path Traversal

Published Jul 7, 2026 CVSS 3.0

A path traversal vulnerability exists in the mlflow/mlflow repository, specifically within the artifact deletion functionality. Attackers can bypass path validation by exploiting the double decoding process in the _delete_artifact_mlflow_artifacts handler and local_file_uri_to_path function, allowing for the deletion of arbitrary directories on the server's filesystem. This vulnerability is due to an extra unquote operation in the delete_artifacts function of local_artifact_repo.py, which fails to properly sanitize user-supplied paths. The issue is present up to version 2.9.2, despite attempts to fix a similar issue in CVE-2023-6831.
