+  title: "MLflow Hard-coded Default Credentials Authentication Bypass"
+  description: "A critical authentication bypass vulnerability exists in MLflow due to hard-coded default credentials in basic_auth.ini. Unauthenticated remote attackers can leverage these default credentials to gain administrative access to MLflow instances, access sensitive models/data, and potentially execute arbitrary code."
+  recommendation: "Update basic_auth.ini to change default credentials, disable default authentication mechanisms, or upgrade MLflow to a patched version 2.11.0 (or the latest available stable release)."
