Apache NiFi MiNiFi C++: Incorrect Certificate Validation in InvokeHTTP for MiNiFi C++

Published Sep 3, 2023 · Updated Sep 27, 2024 · Assigned by apache

Vendor: Apache Software Foundation Product: Apache NiFi - MiNiFi C++

Description

Incorrect certificate validation in InvokeHTTP on Apache NiFi MiNiFi C++ versions 0.13 to 0.14 allows an intermediary to present a forged certificate during TLS handshake negotation. The Disable Peer Verification property of InvokeHTTP was effectively flipped, disabling verification by default, when using HTTPS.

Mitigation: Set the Disable Peer Verification property of InvokeHTTP to true when using MiNiFi C++ versions 0.13.0 or 0.14.0. Upgrading to MiNiFi C++ 0.15.0 corrects the default behavior.
