CVE-2023-3765: Absolute Path Traversal (CWE-36)
value: Absolute Path Traversal in GitHub repository mlflow/mlflow prior to 2.5.0.
CWE description: The product uses external input to construct a pathname that should be within a restricted directory, but it does not properly neutralize absolute path sequences such as "/abs/path" that can resolve to a location that is outside of that directory.
