Kafka UI Vulnerability Could Lead to Post-Auth Remote Code Execution

CVE-2024-32030

What is CVE-2024-32030?

Kafka UI, an open-source web interface for managing Apache Kafka, is vulnerable to a deserialization attack due to the exposed JMX features that rely on the RMI protocol. This vulnerability can be exploited when the 'dynamic.config.enabled' property is activated, which is often recommended in various Kafka UI tutorials. Attackers can leverage this flaw if they gain access to the Kafka cluster or through a maliciously configured Kafka UI backend. Without proper authentication enabled by default in Kafka UI, an attacker could execute arbitrary code on the server, jeopardizing the integrity of the entire system. To mitigate this risk, users are advised to upgrade to Kafka UI version 0.7.2 or later, as there are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. This security issue was identified and reported by the GitHub Security Lab.
