# CVE-2023-41180: Apache NiFi MiNiFi C++: Incorrect Certificate Validation in InvokeHTTP for MiNiFi C++

- Severity: no CVSS score reported
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Published: 2023-09-03 · Updated: 2024-09-27

## Affected

- Apache Software Foundation Apache NiFi MiNiFi C++: from 0.13.0, through 0.14.0

## Description

Incorrect certificate validation in InvokeHTTP on Apache NiFi MiNiFi C++ versions 0.13 to 0.14 allows an intermediary to present a forged certificate during TLS handshake negotation. The Disable Peer Verification property of InvokeHTTP was effectively flipped, disabling verification by default, when using HTTPS. Mitigation: Set the Disable Peer Verification property of InvokeHTTP to true when using MiNiFi C++ versions 0.13.0 or 0.14.0. Upgrading to MiNiFi C++ 0.15.0 corrects the default behavior.
