CVE-2023-41180

Summary

CVE-2023-41180 is a vulnerability affecting Apache NiFi MiNiFi C++ versions 0.13 to 0.14. It involves an incorrect certificate validation in InvokeHTTP, leading to the acceptance of forged certificates during TLS handshake negotiations. The Disable Peer Verification property of InvokeHTTP was inadvertently set to off by default when using HTTPS, making verification optional. To mitigate this issue, users of MiNiFi C++ versions 0.13.0 and 0.14.0 should set the Disable Peer Verification property to true. A permanent solution is to upgrade to MiNiFi C++ 0.15.0, which addresses this vulnerability by restoring the default certificate verification behavior.
