CVE-2018-17192
The X-Frame-Options headers were applied inconsistently on some HTTP responses, resulting in duplicate or missing security headers.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.68%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
The X-Frame-Options headers were applied inconsistently on some HTTP responses, resulting in duplicate or missing security headers. Some browsers would interpret these results incorrectly, allowing clickjacking attacks. Mitigation: The fix to consistently apply the security headers was applied on the Apache NiFi 1.8.0 release. Users running a prior 1.x release should upgrade to the appropriate release.
