What is CVE-2024-1594?
CVE-2024-1594 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in Lfprojects Mlflow, published on 16 Apr 2024. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
A path traversal vulnerability exists in the mlflow/mlflow repository, specifically within the handling of the `artifact_location` parameter when creating an experiment. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability by using a fragment component `#` in the artifact location URI to read arbitrary files on the server in the context of the server's process. This issue is similar to CVE-2023-6909 but utilizes a different component of the URI to achieve the same effect.
