description
Kafka Connect deployments with a separately configured admin.listeners endpoint may leave admin logger operations outside the configured REST authentication and authorization extensions. An unauthenticated network client could view logger settings or change logger levels, affecting information exposure, logging visibility, or resource use.
mitigation
Upgrade Apache Kafka to 4.2.2, 4.3.2, or 4.4.0, as applicable. Until upgraded, remove or unset admin.listeners so administrative resources use the primary listener's security controls, and limit network access to that listener.
fixed in 4.2.2, 4.3.2
outcome
No artifact: an exploit or check was attempted but could not be produced at this moment.
