What to check
- Applies to
- The 5 CVEs named below. Whether you run an affected version is not assessed: check the versions the source lists.
- Exploitation
- No exploitation in the wild and no public exploit is recorded for the CVEs named.
CERT-FR has issued an advisory covering five vulnerabilities affecting Apache ZooKeeper, a widely used distributed coordination service for distributed applications. The affected versions are ZooKeeper 3.8.x prior to 3.8.7 and 3.9.x prior to 3.9.6. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to compromise data confidentiality, compromise data integrity, and bypass security policy enforcement mechanisms.
No indication of active exploitation in the wild is provided in this advisory. CERT-FR directs administrators to the Apache ZooKeeper security bulletin dated September 16, 2026 for patches and further details. Defenders running ZooKeeper should identify all deployed instances, confirm version numbers against the affected ranges, and prioritize upgrading to 3.8.7, 3.9.6, or later as appropriate. Given ZooKeeper's role in coordinating distributed systems (often underpinning Kafka, Hadoop, and other big-data/infrastructure stacks), unpatched instances could expose broader downstream services to risk.

What this brief leaves out
This page is the free tier: the write-up, the severity, the names. In the app the same report carries live profiles of the CVEs it names. The paid plans add the security research and news reporting the free tier leaves out.
It sits in a corpus of 16,436 reports from 149 sources, 661 of them written in the last seven days, and it grows through the day.
A new account starts with three days of all of it, no card, then keeps the government and CERT reporting free. Slack alerts are a paid-plan feature: name the vendors you run and Slack hears about the reports that touch them, not the rest of the week's. Nothing is charged unless you subscribe.
