Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.91%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

In Apache NiFi 1.0.0 to 1.11.4, the notification service manager and various policy authorizer and user group provider objects allowed trusted administrators to inadvertently configure a potentially malicious XML file. The XML file has the ability to make external calls to services (via XXE).
