Apache NiFi: Potential Insertion of MongoDB Password in Provenance Record

Source: GitHub Advisory Database (reviewed) Moderate CVE-2025-27017

Packages

Ecosystem	Package	Affected	Fixed in
Maven	org.apache.nifi:nifi-mongodb-services	>= 1.13.0, < 2.3.0	2.3.0

Details

As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).

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.
