> Kafka Connect REST endpoints reveal Password typed values
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-5117
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5117
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: KafkaConnect
> Affects Versions: 0.10.2.0
> Reporter: Thomas Holmes
>
> A Kafka Connect connector can specify ConfigDef keys as type of Password.
> This type was added to prevent logging the values (instead "[hidden]" is
> logged).
> This change does not apply to the values returned by executing a GET on
> {{connectors/\{connector-name\}}} and
> {{connectors/\{connector-name\}/config}}. This creates an easily accessible
> way for an attacker who has infiltrated your network to gain access to
> potential secrets that should not be available.
> I have started on a code change that addresses this issue by parsing the
> config values through the ConfigDef for the connector and returning their
> output instead (which leads to the masking of Password typed configs as
> [hidden]).
