Arbitrary file write via tar traversal in mlflow
Fix: upgrade to 3.9.0rc0 or later
A vulnerability in MLflow's pyfunc extraction process allows for arbitrary file writes due to improper handling of tar archive entries. Specifically, the use of tarfile.extractall without path validation enables crafted tar.gz files containing .. or absolute paths to escape the intended extraction directory. This issue affects the latest version of MLflow and poses a high/critical risk in scenarios involving multi-tenant environments or ingestion of untrusted artifacts, as it can lead to arbitrary file overwrites and potential remote code execution.
