Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Apache NiFi's nifi-mongodb-services package, versions 1.13.0 through 2.2.0, includes the MongoDB username and password in provenance events generated by MongoDB components. An authorized user with read access to those processors' provenance events can see the credentials. Upgrade to version 2.3.0, which removes the credentials from provenance event records.

Written 7 Nov 2026.
