CVE-2026-10143

kafka-python prior to 2.3.2 contains a denial-of-service vulnerability in SCRAM authentication handling that allows a malicious or machine-in-the-middle broker to freeze the client event loop by supplying an excessively large iteration count. In scram.py, ScramClient.process_server_first_message() passes the broker-controlled SCRAM iteration count directly to hashlib.pbkdf2_hmac() without validation, blocking producer sends, consumer polls, admin operations, and heartbeats, which can cause consumer group eviction and repeated reconnect failures.

Summary
  • (es) kafka-python anterior a 2.3.2 contiene una vulnerabilidad de denegación de servicio en el manejo de la autenticación SCRAM que permite a un bróker malicioso o de máquina-en-el-medio congelar el bucle de eventos del cliente al proporcionar un recuento de iteraciones excesivamente grande. En scram.py, ScramClient.process_server_first_message() pasa el recuento de iteraciones SCRAM controlado por el bróker directamente a hashlib.pbkdf2_hmac() sin validación, bloqueando los envíos del productor, las encuestas del consumidor, las operaciones de administración y los latidos, lo que puede causar la expulsión del grupo de consumidores y fallos repetidos de reconexión.
