Machine-written summary

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

Apache NiFi (nifi-jetty package) versions 0.0.1 through 2.9.0 are affected. A client can send crafted proxy or forwarded host headers that cause NiFi web services to build invalid qualified URLs for redirects or data references. Upgrade to version 2.10.0, which validates these headers against the nifi.web.proxy.host property; the source notes that enabling this validation requires HTTPS, and reverse proxies in front of NiFi can also filter these headers.
