CVE-2026-68980
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
Apache NiFi 2.0.0 through 2.10.0 support creating, reading, and deleting Assets associated with Parameter Contexts through the REST API. The framework authorizes asset deletion against the owning Parameter Context using the supplied Parameter Context Identifier and Asset Identifier. The framework performed authorized based on the supplied Parameter Context Identifier without verifying the requested Identifier against the stored Identifier. Apache NiFi installations that do not implement different levels of authorization across Parameter Contexts are not subject to this vulnerability, because the framework enforces write permissions as the security boundary. Upgrading to Apache NiFi 2.11.0 is the recommended mitigation, which verifies Parameter Context ownership of the requested Asset before deletion using the same strategy applied to Asset read operations.

"value": "Apache NiFi 2.0.0 hasta 2.10.0 permiten crear, leer y eliminar Activos asociados con Contextos de Parámetros a través de la API REST. El framework autoriza la eliminación de activos contra el Contexto de Parámetros propietario utilizando el Identificador de Contexto de Parámetros y el Identificador de Activo proporcionados. El framework realizaba la autorización basándose en el Identificador de Contexto de Parámetros proporcionado sin verificar el Identificador solicitado contra el Identificador almacenado. Las instalaciones de Apache NiFi que no implementan diferentes niveles de autorización entre Contextos de Parámetros no están sujetas a esta vulnerabilidad, porque el framework aplica los permisos de escritura como límite de seguridad. La actualización a Apache NiFi 2.11.0 es la mitigación recomendada, que verifica la propiedad del Contexto de Parámetros sobre el Activo solicitado antes de la eliminación utilizando la misma estrategia aplicada a las operaciones de lectura de Activos."
