In Apache Kafka 0.10.0.0 to 0.10.2.1 and 0.11.0.0 to 0.11.0.1, authenticated Kafka clients may use impersonation via a manually crafted protocol message with SASL/PLAIN or SASL/SCRAM authentication when using the built-in PLAIN or SCRAM server implementations in Apache Kafka.

Weakness

When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct.

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Kafka Apache 0.10.0.0 (including) 0.10.2.1 (including)
