Johan Ström commented on KAFKA-4943:
------------------------------------
Another possibly bad thing is that Kafka logs the credentials in the clear too
(0.10.2.0):
{code}
[2017-04-05 16:29:00,266] INFO Processing notification(s) to /config/changes
(kafka.common.ZkNodeChangeNotificationListener)
[2017-04-05 16:29:00,282] INFO Processing override for entityPath: users/kafka
with config:
{SCRAM-SHA-512=salt=ZGl6dnRzeWQ5ZjJhNWo1bWdxN2draG96Ng==,stored_key=BEdel+ChGSnpdpV0f8s8J/fWlwZJbUtAD1N6FygpPLK1AiVjg0yiHCvigq1R2x+o72QSvNkyFITuVZMlrj8hZg==,server_key=/RZ/EcGAaXwAKvFknVpsBHzC4tBXBLPJQnN4tM/s0wJpMcR9qvvJTGKM9Nx+zoXCc9buNoCd+/2LpL+yWde+/w==,iterations=4096}
(kafka.server.DynamicConfigManager)
{code}
> SCRAM secret's should be better protected with Zookeeper ACLs

> Key: KAFKA-4943
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4943
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: security
> Affects Versions: 0.10.2.0
> Reporter: Johan Ström
> Assignee: Rajini Sivaram
> Fix For: 0.10.2.1
>
>
> With the new SCRAM authenticator the secrets are stored in Zookeeper:
> {code}
> get /kafka/config/users/alice
> {"version":1,"config":{"SCRAM-SHA-512":"salt=ODhnZjNkdWZibTV1cG1zdnV6bmh6djF3Mg==,stored_key=BAbHWHuGEb4m5+U+p0M9oFQmOPhU6M7q5jtZY8deDDoZCvxaqVNLz41yPzdgcp1WpiEBmfwYOuFlo9hMFKM7mA==,server_key=JW3KhpMeyUgh0OAC0kejuFUvUSlXBv/Z68tlfOWcMw5f5jrBwyBnjNQ9VZsSYz1AcI9IYaQ5S6H3yN39SieNiA==,iterations=4096"}}
> {code}
> These are stored without any ACL, and zookeeper-security-migration.sh does
> not seem to change that either:
> {code}
> getAcl /kafka/config/users/alice
> 'world,'anyone
> : cdrwa
> getAcl /kafka/config/users
> 'world,'anyone
> : cdrwa
> getAcl /kafka
> 'world,'anyone
> : r
> 'sasl,'bob
> : cdrwa
> getAcl /kafka/config/changes
> 'world,'anyone
> : r
> 'sasl,'bob
> : cdrwa
> {code}
> The above output is after running security migrator, for some reason
> /kafka/config/users is ignored, but others are fixed..
> Even if these where to be stored with secure ZkUtils#DefaultAcls, they would
> be world readable.
> From my (limited) point of view, they should be readable by Kafka only.
