• Maven org.apache.kafka:kafka: >= 2.0.0, < 2.0.2 → fixed in 2.0.2 • Maven org.apache.kafka:kafka: >= 2.1.0, < 2.1.2 → fixed in 2.1.2 • Maven org.apache.kafka:kafka: >= 2.2.0, < 2.2.2 → fixed in 2.2.2 • Maven org.apache.kafka:kafka: >= 2.3.0, < 2.3.1 → fixed in 2.3.1

When Connect workers in Apache Kafka 2.0.0, 2.0.1, 2.1.0, 2.1.1, 2.2.0, 2.2.1, or 2.3.0 are configured with one or more config providers, and a connector is created/updated on that Connect cluster to use an externalized secret variable in a substring of a connector configuration property value, then any client can issue a request to the same Connect cluster to obtain the connector's task configuration and the response will contain the plaintext secret rather than the externalized secrets variables.
