Jason Gustafson created KAFKA-2579: -------------------------------------- Summary: Unauthorized clients should not be able to join groups Key: KAFKA-2579 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2579 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Sub-task Affects Versions: 0.9.0.0 Reporter: Jason Gustafson
The JoinGroup authorization is only checked in the response callback which is invoked after the request has been forwarded to the ConsumerCoordinator and the client has joined the group. This allows unauthorized members to impact the rest of the group since the coordinator will assign partitions to them. It would be better to check permission and return immediately if the client is unauthorized. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
