CVE-2026-2635 is a critical authentication bypass vulnerability in MLflow caused by hard-coded default credentials present in the basic_auth.ini authentication configuration. Because affected installations ship or rely on a default basic authentication setup containing known credentials, a remote attacker can authenticate without prior authorization and defeat the intended access control mechanism. The issue is reachable over the network and does not require user interaction or existing privileges. Successful exploitation can give an attacker administrative access to the MLflow instance, after which they may perform actions resulting in arbitrary code execution in the context of the administrator.
