Lightbend · Alpakka Kafka · CVE-2023-29471
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Lightbend Alpakka Kafka versions prior to 5.0.0
**Description**
The issue allows log files to contain credentials if plain cleartext login is configured, as the configuration is logged as debug information. This occurs in the `akka.kafka.internal.KafkaConsumerActor`.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 5.0.0, update to version 5.0.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to log files to minimize the risk of credential exposure.
