RE: 4.4.0 Release Manager

Hi Omnia, Several vulnerabilities have been identified in the libraries included in the Kafka 4.4.0 release candidate (RC). Considering the number and severity of these vulnerabilities, could you please consider upgrading the affected libraries to the specified fixed versions as part of Kafka 4.4.0 itself? Upgrading these dependencies before the final Kafka 4.4.0 release would help address the identified security findings and avoid additional remediation activities after release. The details are provided below: 1. Jetty Current version: 12.0.37 Recommended version: 12.0.39 Vulnerabilities addressed: CVE-2026-12611 CVE-2026-19203 CVE-2026-19204 2.
