Artifact disclosure via missing source read check
Published Aug 17, 2026 · Updated Aug 18, 2026
Authorization bypass in MLflow before 3.15.0 allows remote authenticated users to read another user's model artifacts. In mlflow/server/handlers.py, CreateModelVersion accepted a run_id or model_id after _validate_source_run() and _validate_source_model() verified only source-path containment, while the fix adds explicit READ-permission checks on the referenced run or model before version creation. Any account that can create a model version for its own registered model can bind that version to another user's artifact directory and then fetch files through GET /model-versions/get-artifact without the intended cross-user read authorization.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
