Security Policy

Reporting a Vulnerability

Report suspected security vulnerabilities privately to security@kafka.apache.org, following the ASF security process. Do not open public GitHub issues or pull requests, file public JIRA tickets, or post to mailing lists for unpatched vulnerabilities.

Disclosed CVEs and their affected version ranges are published at kafka.apache.org/cve-list.

• Core model: docs/security/security-model.md
