MLflow: trace API endpoints lack proper authorization validators

  • Disclosed: 02.07.2026
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 14:19

In MLflow versions prior to 3.13.0, when running with authentication enabled, the trace API endpoints lack proper authorization validators. This allows any authenticated user to bypass experiment-level authorization controls on all trace operations, including reading, deleting, and modifying traces on experiments they do not have permission to access. The issue arises from the _before_request handler, which does not register authorization validators for trace endpoints, resulting in requests proceeding without validation. This vulnerability can expose sensitive data, destroy audit logs, and allow unauthorized modifications.
