Apache NiFi 1.0.0-1.7.1 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via X-ProxyContextPath Header

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

The message-page.jsp error page used the value of the HTTP request header X-ProxyContextPath without sanitization, resulting in a reflected XSS attack. Mitigation: The fix to correctly parse and sanitize the request attribute value was applied on the Apache NiFi 1.8.0 release. Users running a prior 1.x release should upgrade to the appropriate release.
