Security Researcher Detected: You might have ended up here because your site vulnerability scanner found something interesting. Hi! I'm a security engineer and I'm having a good time interacting with the people and bots that are interested in information security.
You will hopefully find this site is well-secured and I'm not interested in being hacked. I'm interested in learning about how people try to hack me, though.
What is this endpoint?
api/v1/kafka/topics
Apache Kafka Topics API
What an attacker could do
Listing Kafka topics without authentication lets an attacker map the data architecture and, if the brokers lack ACLs, consume sensitive event streams or produce forged messages that downstream consumers trust.
How to defend it
Enable SASL/SSL authentication and topic-level ACLs on the brokers, disable plaintext listeners, and never expose broker or admin ports directly to the internet.
