What is CVE-2023-36542?

Apache NiFi versions 0.0.2 through 1.22.0 contain a vulnerability that permits authenticated users to configure locations for HTTP URL references. This misconfiguration can allow for the execution of custom code, thereby posing a significant threat to the system’s integrity. The remedy involves the introduction of a new Required Permission that restricts access to remote resources, reserving these capabilities for privileged users only. Users are strongly advised to upgrade to Apache NiFi 1.23.0 or later to mitigate the risks associated with this vulnerability.
