Mlflow: Command Injection when serving models with enable_mlserver=True

Critical9.6CVE-2026-0596 · Published Mar 31, 2026 · updated Jun 29, 2026

A command injection vulnerability exists in Mlflow when serving a model with `enable_mlserver=True`. The `model_uri` is embedded directly into a shell command executed via `bash -c` without proper sanitization. If the `model_uri` contains shell metacharacters, such as `$()` or backticks, it allows for command substitution and execution of attacker-controlled commands. This vulnerability affects the latest version of mlflow/mlflow and can lead to privilege escalation if a higher-privileged service serves models from a directory writable by lower-privileged users.
