CVE-2025-27017 Details
Description
Apache NiFi 1.13.0 through 2.2.0 includes the username and password used to authenticate with MongoDB in the NiFi provenance events that MongoDB components generate during processing. An authorized user with read access to the provenance events of those processors may see the credentials information. Upgrading to Apache NiFi 2.3.0 is the recommended mitigation, which removes the credentials from provenance event records.
A vulnerability in Apache NiFi versions 1.13.0 through 2.2.0 allows for the inclusion of MongoDB authentication credentials in provenance event records generated by MongoDB components. This issue enables authorized users with read access to these provenance events to view the exposed usernames and passwords. The vulnerability arises from the improper handling of authentication details in provenance records, which can be accessed during the processing of MongoDB-related tasks.
Users are advised to upgrade to Apache NiFi version 2.3.0, which removes MongoDB credentials from provenance event records.
