high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 418619

Description

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

 - Apache NiFi 0.0.2 through 1.22.0 include Processors and Controller Services that support HTTP URL
 references for retrieving drivers, which allows an authenticated and authorized user to configure a
 location that enables custom code execution. The resolution introduces a new Required Permission for
 referencing remote resources, restricting configuration of these components to privileged users. The
 permission prevents unprivileged users from configuring Processors and Controller Services annotated with
 the new Reference Remote Resources restriction. Upgrading to Apache NiFi 1.23.0 is the recommended
 mitigation. (CVE-2023-36542)
