It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-66623 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- io.strimzi:strimzi (Maven): affected from 0.47.0; fixed in 0.49.1\n- io.strimzi:strimzi (Maven): affected from 0.47.0; fixed in 0.49.1\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-66623/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-66623/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-66623","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-66623/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-66623","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xrhh-hx36-485q"],"analysis":{"component_type":"container_or_infrastructure","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Kafka Kubernetes Operator","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Strimzi operator grants excessive permissions allowing Kafka Connect and MirrorMaker 2 operands to read all Kubernetes Secrets in the namespace.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"strimzi","vendor":"linuxfoundation"}],"cvss":{"score":7.4,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-863","name":"Incorrect Authorization"},{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"Strimzi provides a way to run an Apache Kafka cluster on Kubernetes or OpenShift in various deployment configurations.
