Remote Code Execution due to Full Controled File Write in mlflow
The mlflow web server includes tools for tracking experiments, packaging code into reproducible runs, and sharing and deploying models. As this vulnerability allows to write / overwrite any file on the file system, it gives a lot of ways to archive code execution (like overwriting /home/<user>/.bashrc). A malicious user could use this issue to get command execution on the vulnerable machine and get access to data & models information.
