Summary

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.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could steal the ServiceAccount token, potentially leading to unauthorized access to the Kafka cluster, data confidentiality breach, or infrastructure takeover.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update StreamsHub Console to a patched version and restrict permissions to create Console resources to trusted users only.
