CVE-2026-33557

Опубликовано: 20 апр. 2026

Описание

A possible security vulnerability has been identified in Apache Kafka. By default, the broker property sasl.oauthbearer.jwt.validator.class is set to org.apache.kafka.common.security.oauthbearer.DefaultJwtValidator. It accepts any JWT token without validating its signature, issuer, or audience. An attacker can generate a JWT token from any issuer with the preferred_username set to any user, and the broker will accept it. We advise the Kafka users using kafka v4.1.0 or v4.1.1 to set the config sasl.oauthbearer.jwt.validator.class to org.apache.kafka.common.security.oauthbearer.BrokerJwtValidator explicitly to avoid this vulnerability. Since Kafka v4.1.2 and v4.2.0 and later, the issue is fixed and will correctly validate the JWT token.

A flaw was found in Apache Kafka. By default, the sasl.oauthbearer.jwt.validator.class property is set to org.apache.kafka.common.security.oauthbearer.DefaultJwtValidator, which does not validate JSON Web Token (JWT) signatures, issuers, or audiences. A remote attacker can exploit this by crafting a malicious JWT token with an arbitrary preferred_username, leading to an authentication bypass and unauthorized access to the Kafka broker.
