CVE-2026-92778 Details
Description
CMAK through 3.0.0.6 fails to apply the scheduled leader election feature toggle to HTML form routes, allowing attackers to bypass the feature gate. Attackers can access the form endpoints to start and stop the recurring election scheduler, disrupting leadership across managed Kafka clusters.
A vulnerability in CMAK (Cluster Manager for Apache Kafka) versions through 3.0.0.6 allows for the bypass of the scheduled leader election feature toggle on HTML form routes. This oversight enables attackers to manipulate the recurring election scheduler, disrupting leadership across managed Kafka clusters. The issue arises because the HTML form endpoints do not enforce the same feature gate as the corresponding JSON API routes, creating a gap that can be exploited.
To address this vulnerability, ensure that the 'KMScheduleLeaderElectionFeature' toggle is enabled when using the HTML form routes, or avoid using the HTML form routes altogether.
