CVE-2026-44914

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

Apache NiFi 1.12.0 through 2.9.0 are missing authorization when replacing Process Groups that include extension components with specific Required Permissions based on the Restricted annotation. The Restricted annotation indicates additional privileges required, but framework authorization did not check restricted status when handling requests to replace Process Groups. The missing authorization permits a user with general write access to add components with Restricted status. Apache NiFi installations that do not implement specific authorization for Restricted components are not subject to this vulnerability because the framework enforces write permissions as the security boundary. Upgrading to Apache NiFi 2.9.0 is the recommended mitigation, which removes the implementation of Restricted status authorization from the framework.

      "value": "Apache NiFi 1.12.0 hasta 2.9.0 carecen de autorización al reemplazar Grupos de Procesos que incluyen componentes de extensión con Permisos Requeridos específicos basados en la anotación Restricted. La anotación Restricted indica privilegios adicionales requeridos, pero la autorización del framework no verificó el estado Restricted al manejar solicitudes para reemplazar Grupos de Procesos. La falta de autorización permite a un usuario con acceso de escritura general agregar componentes con estado Restricted. Las instalaciones de Apache NiFi que no implementan autorización específica para componentes Restricted no están sujetas a esta vulnerabilidad porque el framework aplica permisos de escritura como límite de seguridad. Actualizar a Apache NiFi 2.9.0 es la mitigación recomendada, lo que elimina la implementación de la autorización de estado Restricted del framework."
