CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedApache NiFi versions 1.5.0 through 2.10.0 are vulnerable due to a flaw in handling gzip-encoded HTTP requests, where the maximum request size is enforced on the compressed payload instead of the decompressed output. This vulnerability allows an attacker to craft requests that can lead to excessive memory consumption, potentially resulting in denial of service. Organizations using affected versions of Apache NiFi should prioritize upgrading to version 2.11.0 to mitigate this risk.
Original NVD Description
Apache NiFi 1.5.0 through 2.10.0 support gzip-encoded HTTP requests for the application REST API using a Jersey encoding filter. The framework enforced a configurable maximum request size on the compressed payload rather than the decompressed output, allowing a malicious client to send crafted requests that could consume excessive amounts of memory. Upgrading to Apache NiFi 2.11.0 is the recommended mitigation, which relocates response compression to Jetty Server and disables decompression of gzip-encoded HTTP requests.
