How to fix?

Upgrade org.apache.zookeeper:zookeeper to version 3.4.14, 3.5.5 or higher.

Overview

org.apache.zookeeper:zookeeper is a centralized service for maintaining configuration information, naming, providing distributed synchronization, and providing group services.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Access Control Bypass. ZooKeeper’s getACL() method doesn’t check any permission when retrieving the ACLs of the requested node and returns all information contained in the ACL Id field as plain text string. If Digest Authentication is in use, the unsalted hash value will be disclosed by the getACL() method for unauthenticated or unprivileged users.
