Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Apache NiFi's nifi-other-graph-services-nar package, versions 2.0.0-M1 through 2.8.0, is affected. The TinkerpopClientService lacks the Restricted annotation requiring the Execute Code permission, so a user without that permission can configure the service, including Groovy script execution, in installations that use fine-grained authorization and have this optional component installed. Upgrade to 2.9.0.
