CVE-2026-68980 Details
Description
Apache NiFi 2.0.0 through 2.10.0 support creating, reading, and deleting Assets associated with Parameter Contexts through the REST API. The framework authorizes asset deletion against the owning Parameter Context using the supplied Parameter Context Identifier and Asset Identifier. The framework performed authorized based on the supplied Parameter Context Identifier without verifying the requested Identifier against the stored Identifier. Apache NiFi installations that do not implement different levels of authorization across Parameter Contexts are not subject to this vulnerability, because the framework enforces write permissions as the security boundary. Upgrading to Apache NiFi 2.11.0 is the recommended mitigation, which verifies Parameter Context ownership of the requested Asset before deletion using the same strategy applied to Asset read operations.
An authorization bypass vulnerability has been identified in Apache NiFi versions 2.0.0 through 2.10.0. This vulnerability allows for the deletion of Assets associated with Parameter Contexts via the REST API, without proper verification of ownership. The framework authorizes deletions based on the supplied Parameter Context Identifier, but fails to validate it against the stored Identifier. As a result, unauthorized deletions may occur. This issue affects Apache NiFi installations that do not implement varying levels of authorization across Parameter Contexts, as those frameworks rely on write permissions as the security boundary.
Upgrading to Apache NiFi 2.11.0 is recommended, as this version verifies Parameter Context ownership of the requested Asset before deletion, using the same approach applied to Asset read operations.
