Anders Breindahl updated NIFI-3045:
-----------------------------------
Description:
Hey,
When setting up a hardened NiFi installation I ran into this. I hope I'm
mistaken.
When running the {{encrypt-config.sh}} script, one has a
{{nifi.bootstrap.sensitive.key}} string configured in {{bootstrap.conf}}. The
service startup script makes this be passed from {{RunNifi}} to{{NiFi}} by a
{{-k}} parameter.
This however can be retrieved by any user of the interface -- which, combined
with NiFi being able to read from (the
encrypted-under-{{nifi.bootstrap.sensitive.key}}) {{nifi.properties}} file
means that e.g. the {{nifi.security.keystorePasswd}} property can be decrypted
offline.
Does this have anything to it?
