SCA: security update for org.apache.nifi:nifi-other-graph-services-nar (GHSA-2j9m-25xv-mp6r)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 441831

Description

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

- The optional extension component TinkerpopClientService is missing the Restricted annotation with the
Execute Code Required Permission in Apache NiFi 2.0.0-M1 through 2.8.0. The TinkerpopClientService
supports configuration of ByteCode Submission for the Script Submission Type, enabling Groovy Script
execution in the service prior to submitting the query. The missing Restricted annotation allows users
without the Execute Code Permission to configure the Service in installations that use fine-grained
authorization and have the optional TinkerpopClientService installed. Apache NiFi installations that do
not have the nifi-other-graph-services-nar installed are not subject to this vulnerability. Upgrading to
Apache NiFi 2.9.0 is the recommended mitigation. (CVE-2026-39816)

Solution

Update the org.apache.nifi:nifi-other-graph-services-nar library and its related packages to version 2.9.0 or later.
