Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Apache NiFi (the nifi-web-api package, versions 1.15.0 through 2.9.0) lets users with read-only access submit proposed configuration properties for component verification. An attacker with read access can run predefined verification methods using alternative settings that override the current configuration. Upgrade to Apache NiFi 2.10.0, which requires write access for these requests. Installations that do not separate read and write authorization for component configuration are not affected.
