Ismael Juma commented on KAFKA-3221: ------------------------------------ You didn't mention ZooKeeper authentication in your analysis. For the default Authorizer, you'd be expected to use ZK authentication to secure ZK for all usage (including kafka-acl). > kafka-acls.sh must verify if a user has sufficient privileges to perform acls > CRUD > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-3221 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3221 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Ashish K Singh > Assignee: Ashish K Singh > > kafka-acls.sh provides an insecure entry point to Kafka's authorization. No > checks are performed or no user information is provided to authorizer to > validate a user, before the user performs CRUD of acls. This is a security > hole that must be addressed. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
