CVE-2024-0520

Status: ModifiedHigh (8.8)—💥 PoC

A vulnerability in mlflow/mlflow version 8.2.1 allows for remote code execution due to improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command ('Command Injection') within the `mlflow.data.http_dataset_source.py` module. Specifically, when loading a dataset from a source URL with an HTTP scheme, the filename extracted from the `Content-Disposition` header or the URL path is used to generate the final file path without proper sanitization.

Read full descriptionShow less

This flaw enables an attacker to control the file path fully by utilizing path traversal or absolute path techniques, such as '../../tmp/poc.txt' or '/tmp/poc.txt', leading to arbitrary file write. Exploiting this vulnerability could allow a malicious user to execute commands on the vulnerable machine, potentially gaining access to data and model information. The issue is fixed in version 2.9.0.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

💥 Public exploits

Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.

⚠️ GitHub proofs of concept are not verified: some are fake or contain malware. Never run them outside an isolated lab.

Específicamente, cuando se carga un conjunto de datos desde una URL de origen con un esquema HTTP, el nombre de archivo extraído del encabezado `Content-Disposition` o la ruta URL se utiliza para generar la ruta final del archivo sin una sanitización adecuada. Esta falla permite a un atacante controlar completamente la ruta del archivo mediante el uso de técnicas de path traversal o de ruta absoluta, como '../../tmp/poc.txt' o '/tmp/poc.txt', lo que lleva a la escritura arbitraria de archivos. Explotar esta vulnerabilidad podría permitir que un usuario malintencionado ejecute comandos en la máquina vulnerable, obteniendo potencialmente acceso a datos e información del modelo.
