CVE-2024-36543 is a high-severity missing authentication for critical function vulnerability in io.strimzi:strimzi (maven), affecting versions <= 0.41.0. No fixed version is listed yet.
Incorrect access control in the Kafka Connect REST API in the STRIMZI Project 0.41.0 and earlier allows an attacker to deny the service for Kafka Mirroring, potentially mirror the topics' content to his Kafka cluster via a malicious connector (bypassing Kafka ACL if it exists), and potentially steal Kafka SASL credentials, by querying the MirrorMaker Kafka REST API.
A critical operation is accessible without requiring any authentication. Typical impact: any user can invoke the privileged function.
CVE-2024-36543 has a CVSS score of 7.3 (High). The vector is network-reachable, no privileges required, and no user interaction. A CVSS score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether this affects your application depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable in your environment.
No fixed version is listed yet, so configuration controls and monitoring matter more in the interim.

io.strimzi:strimzi (<= 0.41.0)Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.
Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter instead of chasing every advisory.
Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether CVE-2024-36543 is reachable in your applications. Explore open-source security for your team.

CVE-2024-36543 is a high-severity missing authentication for critical function vulnerability in io.strimzi:strimzi (maven), affecting versions <= 0.41.0. No fixed version is listed yet. A critical operation is accessible without requiring any authentication.
CVE-2024-36543 has a CVSS score of 7.3 (High). This score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether it represents real risk in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable.
io.strimzi:strimzi (maven) versions <= 0.41.0 is affected.
No fixed version is listed for CVE-2024-36543 yet. Monitor the advisory for updates and apply mitigations in the interim.
Whether CVE-2024-36543 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
No fixed version is listed yet. In the interim: Keep the dependency up to date. Add authentication gating to all sensitive endpoints.
