AI-suggested

Upgrade to Redpanda Connect version 4.111 or later, where the management HTTP API is disabled by default. If upgrading is not immediately possible, ensure that the management API on port 4195 is not accessible from untrusted networks or is disabled. Avoid enabling the management API manually unless necessary and secure it properly if enabled. Monitor vendor advisories for any official patches or additional mitigation guidance.

Description

Redpanda Connect versions 4.39 through 4.110 have a missing authentication vulnerability in the management HTTP API exposed on 0.0.0.0:4195. This allows unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) by posting malicious pipeline definitions containing code-executing processors. Starting with version 4.111, the API endpoint is disabled by default but can be enabled manually, retaining the RCE risk if enabled.
