+ <h2>Advisories for dependencies</h2>
+ <p>
+ Many organizations use 'security scanning' tools to
detect components for which advisories exist. While we generally encourage
using such tools, since they are an important way users are notified of risks,
our experience is that they produce a lot of false positives: when a dependency
of Kafka contains a vulnerability, it is likely Kafka is using it in a way that
is not affected. As such, we do not consider the fact that an advisory has been
published for a Kafka dependency sensitive. Only when additional analysis
confirms Kafka is affected by the problem, we ask you to report this finding
privately through <a href="mailto:[email protected]?Subject=[SECURITY]
My security issue" target="_top">[email protected]</a>.
