Doc Text:
A flaw was found in mlflow. A path traversal vulnerability exists in the `extract_archive_to_dir` function, which is responsible for extracting archives. An attacker who can control the input tar.gz file can exploit this vulnerability due to insufficient validation of paths within the archive. This allows the attacker to overwrite arbitrary files, potentially leading to privilege escalation or escaping the intended sandbox environment in multi-tenant or shared cluster setups.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-03-30 02:01:41 UTC 
A path traversal vulnerability exists in the `extract_archive_to_dir` function within the `mlflow/pyfunc/dbconnect_artifact_cache.py` file of the mlflow/mlflow repository. This vulnerability, present in versions before v3.7.0, arises due to the lack of validation of tar member paths during extraction. An attacker with control over the tar.gz file can exploit this issue to overwrite arbitrary files or gain elevated privileges, potentially escaping the sandbox directory in multi-tenant or shared cluster environments.
