Description PRE-NVD

Disclosed via oss-security. NVD scoring and full description are pending.

AnalysisAI

Authenticated path traversal in Apache NiFi Registry 0.4.0 through 2.11.0 allows a user who is authorized to both write and delete extension bundles in a bucket to upload a NAR whose manifest carries crafted parent-directory group, artifact, or version coordinates, causing the default file persistence provider to perform file system operations outside the configured persistence directory. Impact is limited to integrity and availability (files created, overwritten, or deleted outside the storage root) rather than confidentiality or remote code execution, and exploitation requires a valid account with write-plus-delete bundle privileges on a deployment using the default file persistence provider. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires an authenticated NiFi Registry account that is authorized to BOTH write and delete extension bundles within at least one bucket - this is the primary limiting factor and rules out anonymous or read-only users. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a moderate-to-serious authenticated integrity/availability flaw, not a critical unauthenticated RCE. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Vendor-released patch: Apache NiFi Registry 2.12.0 - upgrading to 2.12.0 is the recommended mitigation, as it rejects parent-directory coordinates and enforces that the normalized storage path remain a strict child of the file persistence root. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory every NiFi Registry deployment, confirm which instances run versions 0.4.0 through 2.11.0, and determine which of those use the default file persistence provider; immediately reduce the set of accounts holding simultaneous write-and-delete privileges on extension bundles in any bucket, capture a verified backup of all registry artifacts and persistence directories, and audit the persistence root and its parent directories for files that should not be there. …
