medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 424823

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Apache Pulsar contains multiple connectors for integrating with Apache Kafka. The Pulsar IO Apache Kafka
 Source Connector, Sink Connector, and Kafka Connect Adaptor Sink Connector log sensitive configuration
 properties in plain text in application logs. This vulnerability can lead to unintended exposure of
 credentials in log files, potentially allowing attackers with access to these logs to obtain Apache Kafka
 credentials. The vulnerability's impact is limited by the fact that an attacker would need access to the
 application logs to exploit this issue. This issue affects Apache Pulsar IO's Apache Kafka connectors in
 all versions before 3.0.11, 3.3.6, and 4.0.4. 3.0.x version users should upgrade to at least 3.0.11. 3.3.x
 version users should upgrade to at least 3.3.6. 4.0.x version users should upgrade to at least 4.0.4.
 Users operating versions prior to those listed above should upgrade to the aforementioned patched versions
 or newer versions. (CVE-2025-30677)
