No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\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-2026-83525/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-83525/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-83525","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-83525/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-83525","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-34hc-fwhq-c7v8","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-83525"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":"apache","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-480","name":"Use of Incorrect Operator"}],"description":"Incorrect operator (CWE-480) in the FetchSnapshot RPC handler\nin Apache Kafka from 2.8.0 before 4.2.2, and from 4.3.0 before 4.3.2\non all platforms allows an authenticated attacker with\nCLUSTER_ACTION privilege to cause a denial of service\n(controller process termination) via a crafted\nFetchSnapshotRequest with an empty topics array or a topic\nwith no partitions.\n\nUsers are recommended to upgrade to version 4.2.2, 4.3.2, or\n4.4.0, which fix this issue.
