QID 983755

QID 983755: Java (maven) Security Update for org.apache.kafka:kafka (GHSA-6jmf-mxwf-r3jc)

When Connect workers in Apache Kafka 2.0.0, 2.0.1, 2.1.0, 2.1.1, 2.2.0, 2.2.1, or 2.3.0 are configured with one or more config providers, and a connector is created/updated on that Connect cluster to use an externalized secret variable in a substring of a connector configuration property value, then any client can issue a request to the same Connect cluster to obtain the connector's task configuration and the response will contain the plaintext secret rather than the externalized secrets variables.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may affect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the targeted user.
