CVE-2024-1560: mlflow path traversal in artifact deletion allows arbitrary directory deletion

Summary

A path traversal flaw in the mlflow/mlflow repository's artifact deletion functionality lets attackers delete arbitrary directories on the server's filesystem. Attackers bypass path validation through double decoding in the `_delete_artifact_mlflow_artifacts` handler and `local_file_uri_to_path` function, caused by an extra unquote operation in `delete_artifacts` in `local_artifact_repo.py`. The issue affects versions up to 2.9.2 and persists despite an earlier fix attempt for CVE-2023-6831.
