Impact

The NVIDIA Triton Inference Server for Linux contains a path traversal flaw in the MLflow plugin. By including a specially crafted path in the model name, an attacker may be able to read, write, or modify files located outside the designated model repository. The vulnerability can lead to information disclosure and may also cause a denial of service if critical files are altered or deleted.

Affected Systems

Vendor NVIDIA provides the Triton Inference Server for Linux. The flaw applies to all releases of the server that have the MLflow plugin enabled; specific version ranges are not supplied by the advisory.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 4.4, indicating a moderate severity. EPSS information is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack vector is inferred to involve supplying a manipulated model name to the MLflow plugin; it may require local access or an exposed API endpoint. The path traversal weakness, CWE‑22, allows local or remote attackers to read or alter files outside the intended directory, potentially leading to executing arbitrary code or tampering with model data.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to the latest NVIDIA Triton Inference Server release that contains the path‑traversal fix as described in NVIDIA’s security advisory.
  • If a patch is not yet available, disable or remove the MLflow plugin unless it is required for your deployment.
  • Restrict file system permissions on the model repository and surrounding directories so that only authorized service accounts can access files outside the repository.
