             Summary: Zookeeper for cluster mode exploit still available
                 Key: NIFI-14721
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-14721
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Security
    Affects Versions: 2.4.0, 1.28.1
            Reporter: WojciechWitos


Exploit of:
[Zookeeper 3.5.2 Client - Denial of Service - Multiple dos 
Exploit|https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/42294]
is still applicable even tho the zookeeper is in the newest version.
Specification of the cluster:
 * 4 CPU
 * 20 GB Ram

After running the code specified on the website with the specific number of 
threads: 10000 CPU usage from 10% goes to 35% or even more. When the cluster 
would have some load, it would cause application to crash (tested).

Tried to disable those methods via zookeeper.properties but didn't work out. 
Issue still persist.

Behavior of the application is the same in the NiFi 1.28.1 and the 2.4

Unsafe options should've been disabled by default, but in the NiFi itself they 
are enabled somehow and allow this exploit.
