CVE-2025-0453: mlflow denial of service through the /graphql endpoint

Summary

CVE-2025-0453 affects mlflow/mlflow version 2.17.2. The `/graphql` endpoint is vulnerable to denial of service, because an attacker can send large batches of queries that repeatedly request all runs from a given experiment. This ties up all the workers MLFlow allocates and leaves the application unable to respond to other requests.
