[David Handermann <exceptionfactory () apache org>]

Affected versions:

- Apache NiFi 1.10.0 through 1.26.0
- Apache NiFi 2.0.0-M1 through 2.0.0-M3

Description:

Apache NiFi 1.10.0 through 1.26.0 and 2.0.0-M1 through 2.0.0-M3 support a description field in the Parameter Context 
configuration that is vulnerable to cross-site scripting. An authenticated user, authorized to configure a Parameter 
Context, can enter arbitrary JavaScript code, which the client browser will execute within the session context of the 
authenticated user. Upgrading to Apache NiFi 1.27.0 or 2.0.0-M4 is the recommended mitigation.
