CVE-2019-12399

7.5 highEPSS 3.9%

High (7.5). EPSS 3.9% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in org.apache.kafka:kafka 2.0.2, 2.1.2, 2.2.2.

When Connect workers in Apache Kafka 2.0.0, 2.0.1, 2.1.0, 2.1.1, 2.2.0, 2.2.1, or 2.3.0 are configured with one or more config providers, and a connector is created/updated on that Connect cluster to use an externalized secret variable in a substring of a connector configuration property value, then any client can issue a request to the same Connect cluster to obtain the connector's task configuration and the response will contain the plaintext secret rather than the externalized secrets variables.
