+
+Apache NiFi 2.11.0 supports migrating the contents of a version-controlled 
Process Group into a Connector using REST API methods that list eligible 
migration sources and submit migration requests. The
+framework authorized both methods against the target Connector alone, without 
evaluating access to the Process Groups involved. The absence of Process Group 
authorization allowed an authenticated user
+with read access to a Connector to enumerate the identifiers, names, and flow 
registry details of version-controlled Process Groups outside the scope of 
granted read policies. It also allowed a user
+with write access to a Connector to migrate a Process Group without write 
access to that Process Group, copying the flow definition, referenced assets, 
and component state into the Connector, and
+leaving the source Process Group disabled and renamed. Migration excludes 
sensitive property values and requires the source Process Group to be stopped 
with empty queues, which limits the scope of
+exposure. Apache NiFi installations that do not implement component-level 
authorization policies for Process Groups are not subject to this 
vulnerability, because the framework enforces Connector
+write permissions as the security boundary. Upgrading to Apache NiFi 2.12.0 is 
the recommended mitigation, which filters migration sources to Process Groups 
the requesting user is authorized to read,
+and requires write access to the source Process Group when submitting a 
migration request.
