Security readout for executives and security teams
Apache NiFi versions 1.0.0 and 1.1.0 allowed an authorized user to trigger cross-site scripting in the connection details dialog. The issue was improper handling of user-supplied text added to the page. Business risk depends on who can access the NiFi UI and their privileges. Exposure is likely limited to environments running Apache NiFi 1.0.0 or 1.1.0 where authorized users can access the web UI. Internet-facing or broadly accessible NiFi consoles increase concern. Prioritize remediation if affected NiFi versions are still in use, especially where the UI is exposed beyond a small trusted admin group. This is not evidenced as actively exploited, but obsolete vulnerable versions should be removed from production. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Apache NiFi 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 or later.; Upgrade Apache NiFi 1.1.0 to 1.1.1 or later.; Restrict NiFi UI access to trusted users and management networks..
