CVE-2026-2611: MLflow: Improper Origin Validation in MLflow Assistant /ajax-api Endpoints Enables Browser-Mediated Local Command Execution
(updated )
In MLflow version 3.9.0, the MLflow Assistant feature introduced improper origin validation in its /ajax-api endpoints. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to exploit cross-origin requests from a malicious webpage to interact with the MLflow Assistant running on a victim’s local machine. By bypassing the loopback-only restriction, the attacker can modify the Assistant’s configuration to enable full access, which in turn allows the execution of arbitrary commands via the Claude Code sub-agent. This issue is resolved in version 3.10.0.
