StreamsHub Console for Apache Kafka® vulnerability

What happened

A flaw was found in the StreamsHub Console for Apache Kafka. Tenant-supplied Kafka client properties from the Console custom resource are copied into the console-api AdminClient configuration without filtering security-sensitive keys, allowing a Console CR author to set config.providers and bootstrap.servers to exfiltrate the console-api ServiceAccount token to an attacker-controlled broker.

Affected versions

StreamsHub Console for Apache Kafka®: 0.2.1 through before 0.12.9 (semver); 0.13.0 through before 0.14.1 (semver) Fixed: See vendor advisory.
