Published Mar 30, 2026 · corrected/updated Jul 15, 2026 · lfprojects mlflow · evidence confidence high

A path traversal vulnerability exists in the function within the 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.

Grounded briefings

Catalog interpretations for three audiences. Each brief cites ingested metadata and the original advisories below. They are not independent research and they do not invent exploit steps.

Executive

CVE-2025-15036 is a critical public vulnerability record for lfprojects mlflow. It is not currently listed in the CISA Known Exploited catalog. Check the linked vendor or CERT advisories for patch status. This summary is a catalog interpretation of the ingested metadata and cites the original advisories below.

System administrator

Identify whether lfprojects mlflow is in your estate, then compare installed versions with the affected ranges. Affected packages or ranges on record: lfprojects/mlflow. Check the linked vendor or CERT advisories for patch status. Prefer the vendor or distribution advisory linked in Sources before changing production systems. This is a catalog interpretation, not a runbook.

Security analyst

Signals on file: CVSS 10.0, EPSS 0.6%. It is not currently listed in the CISA Known Exploited catalog. Weakness classes: CWE-22, CWE-29. Sources contributing to this record: cve_org, epss, nvd. Public exploit references, when present, are outbound links only and are not proof of active exploitation. This is a catalog interpretation of stored metadata.
