There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- The optional ShellUserGroupProvider in Apache NiFi 1.10.0 to 1.16.2 and Apache NiFi Registry 0.6.0 to
1.16.2 does not neutralize arguments for group resolution commands, allowing injection of operating system
commands on Linux and macOS platforms. The ShellUserGroupProvider is not included in the default
configuration. Command injection requires ShellUserGroupProvider to be one of the enabled User Group
Providers in the Authorizers configuration. Command injection also requires an authenticated user with
elevated privileges. Apache NiFi requires an authenticated user with authorization to modify access
policies in order to execute the command. Apache NiFi Registry requires an authenticated user with
authorization to read user groups in order to execute the command. The resolution removes command
formatting based on user-provided arguments. (CVE-2022-33140)
