Introduction

  • CVE-2024-32030 is a critical vulnerability affecting Kafka UI, an open-source web UI for managing Apache Kafka.

  • The vulnerability allows remote code execution (RCE) by exploiting the JMX metrics collection feature.

  • An attacker can exploit this by connecting Kafka UI backend to a malicious broker, leading to deserialization attacks.

  • The issue is particularly dangerous as Kafka UI does not have authentication enabled by default.

  • The vulnerability is addressed in Kafka UI version 0.7.2; users are advised to upgrade immediately.

  • There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

Vulnerability Details [1]

  • CVE-2024-32030 affects Kafka UI, an open-source web UI for managing Apache Kafka.

  • The vulnerability is due to the JMX metrics collection feature, which is susceptible to deserialization attacks.

  • An attacker can exploit this by connecting Kafka UI backend to a malicious broker.

  • The dynamic.config.enabled property, if set, increases the risk of exploitation.

  • The issue is tracked as GHSL-2023-230 by the GitHub Security Lab.
