Description PRE-NVD

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

AnalysisAI

Host header injection in Apache NiFi 0.0.1 through 2.9.0 enables network-accessible clients to supply arbitrary values via X-ProxyHost and X-Forwarded-Host HTTP headers, causing the application to construct attacker-controlled qualified URLs used in HTTP redirects and data references. Although NiFi introduced an allowlist-based Host header control (nifi.web.proxy.host) in version 1.6.0, that validation was never extended to the alternative proxy and forwarded headers, leaving a persistent gap across roughly a decade of releases. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Send HTTP request with crafted X-Forwarded-Host header
Delivery
NiFi reads unvalidated proxy header value
Exploit
Application constructs attacker-controlled qualified URL
Execution
Poisoned redirect or data reference returned to client
Impact
Client follows attacker-controlled URL

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The vulnerability is exploitable on any Apache NiFi 0.0.1-2.9.0 instance reachable over the network where an upstream reverse proxy does not strip or validate the X-ProxyHost or X-Forwarded-Host headers before forwarding requests to NiFi. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment No official CVSS score, EPSS probability, or SSVC decision data has been published for CVE-2026-54665 at time of analysis, so risk must be assessed from first principles. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with network access to NiFi's web interface sends a crafted HTTP request containing a malicious value in the X-Forwarded-Host header (e.g., X-Forwarded-Host: attacker.example.com). NiFi accepts the unvalidated value and constructs a qualified redirect URL pointing to the attacker's domain, which is then returned in an HTTP Location header during a login or OAuth callback flow. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: Apache NiFi 2.10.0. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: Inventory all Apache NiFi deployments and versions; prioritize internet-facing or untrusted-network-accessible instances for immediate investigation. …
