| ## [CVE-2026-41115](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-41115) Apache Kafka: Improper Authorization in CONSUMER_GROUP_DESCRIBE API {#CVE-2026-41115} | ||
|
|
||
| The implementation of the CONSUMER_GROUP_DESCRIBE (69) API validates the DESCRIBE operation on the GROUP resource instead of the READ operation that documented in the official kafka documentation and the KIP-848. |

that documented -> as documented
kafka -> Kafka
the KIP-848 -> KIP-848
| like granting READ permission to users who should not be able to join/sync groups, or allowing users without READ permission (but with DESCRIBE permission) to access sensitive group metadata. | ||
|
|
||
| The correct permission for CONSUMER_GROUP_DESCRIBE API is DESCRIBE GROUP so the current implementation is correct. | ||
| However, the kafka documentation as well as the KIP-848 will be updated to reflect the correct permission. |
