high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 423078

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - The template upload API endpoint accepted requests from different domain when sent in conjunction with ARP
 spoofing + man in the middle (MiTM) attack, resulting in a CSRF attack. The required attack vector is
 complex, requiring a scenario with client certificate authentication, same subnet access, and injecting
 malicious code into an unprotected (plaintext HTTP) website which the targeted user later visits, but the
 possible damage warranted a Severe severity level. Mitigation: The fix to apply Cross-Origin Resource
 Sharing (CORS) policy request filtering was applied on the Apache NiFi 1.8.0 release. Users running a
 prior 1.x release should upgrade to the appropriate release. (CVE-2018-17195)
