             Summary: StandardNiFiServiceFacade: Recursive method call allows 
for infinite loop when a circular reference exists
                 Key: NIFI-5377
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-5377
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core Framework
    Affects Versions: 1.7.0
            Reporter: Jon Kessler


At a minimum, when you attempt to view a list of controller services in the gui 
this specific method is called to obtain a set of referenced controller service 
identifiers. If there is a circular dependency in that set, you end up with an 
infinite loop that ultimately results the user being redirected to an error 
page in the gui.

The method in question is findControllerServiceReferencingComponentIdentifiers. 
It checks to see if each node has been visited already but does not add them to 
the set until after recursively calling itself again. If the line 
"visited.add(node);" is moved above the method call, this will be resolved.
