Description
A vulnerability has been found in mlrun up to 1.12.0-rc3. This impacts the function mlrun.utils.helpers.calculate_dataframe_hash of the file mlrun/utils/helpers.py of the component DataFrame Hash Handler. The manipulation leads to use of weak hash. The attack can only be performed from a local environment. The complexity of an attack is rather high. The exploitability is said to be difficult. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The pull request to fix this issue awaits acceptance.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for mlrun, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Remediation status
No patched version of mlrun has shipped for GHSA-phx2-3w66-h4pw yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
Mitigate without a patch
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
