      <title>CVE-2026-110952 — Apache Kafka: Broker does not enforce JWT issuer and audience validation for SASL/OAUTHBEARER by default</title>
      <link>https://db.gcve.eu/vuln/cve-2026-110952</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Apache Software Foundation Apache Kafka&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A Kafka broker that authenticates clients with SASL/OAUTHBEARER using the bundled JWKS-backed validator always verifies the JWT signature, but two further checks are only performed when explicitly configured:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- The issuer (iss) claim is verified only when sasl.oauthbearer.expected.issuer is set. When it is unset, a validly-signed token carrying the expected audience is accepted regardless of which issuer minted it.
- An audience (aud) claim is required only when sasl.oauthbearer.expected.audience is set. When it is unset, a validly-signed token that omits the aud claim is accepted. (A token that carries an aud claim is
  still rejected when no expected audience is configured.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Both options default to unset and have been documented as optional (Importance LOW) since KIP-768 (3.1.0).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Impact:
  The exposure is realizable mainly in deployments whose JWKS endpoint serves signing keys for more than one issuer (a multi-tenant identity provider, an aggregated/shared JWKS, or shared signing keys): a token
  minted for a different issuer, or a token lacking an audience, may be accepted to authenticate — potentially as a higher-privileged principal. In a single-issuer deployment where the provider controls the iss
  claim and issues audience-scoped tokens, exposure is limited. The signature trust anchor remains enforced in all cases. This is distinct from CVE-2026-33557 (acceptance of unsigned/unvalidated tokens); here the
  signature is validated and only the issuer/audience checks…&lt;/p&gt;</description>
