Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Strimzi versions 0.47.0 up to but not including 0.49.1 (fixed in 0.49.1) create an incorrect Kubernetes Role for Kafka Connect and MirrorMaker 2 deployments that lack certain TLS or mTLS trusted-certificate or authentication settings. Code running inside those Pods, using the Pod's service account, can read any Secret in the same namespace, though it cannot list, modify or delete them. Upgrade to Strimzi 0.49.1; the source states there is no workaround for affected configurations.
