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.
