Hello there AmarendraSingh88! 👋

Thank you and congratulations 🎉 for opening your very first issue in this project! 💖

In case you want to claim this issue, please comment down below! We will try to get back to you as soon as we can. 👀 Yes, I want to know the plan for fixing these vulnerabilities and also the next release date. Hey, thanks for reaching out.

We have periodic CVE scans [enabled](https://github.com/provectus/kafka-ui/actions/workflows/cve.yaml) and just the recent ones were green. We'll take a look into new CVEs.

Also, you can always pull `master`-labeled image with the fixes you need, there's no need to wait for a release.

Security Vulnerabilities in the master tag
Hello team,

We're planning to use kafka-ui to use its features to manage, troubleshoot and maintain our kafka cluster. As part of that we were doing the security scan for the latest image but it had a lot of vulnerabilities (30+). We then used the master tag of the image, which significantly improves on the Vuln report and now we only see 4 CVEs out of which 2 are critical. 
Below are the CVEs and their CVSS3.1 score-
CVE-2016-1000027 - 9.8
CVE-2022-37434 - 9.8
CVE-2022-25647 - 7.5
CVE-2021-22569 - 5.5

To be able to proceed further, we need the critical vulnerabilities to be fixed. Please let us know-

1. By when the new release will be available (which has many security vuln fixed)
2. What is the plan for fixing the above two critical vuln? Can these be fixed in the upcoming release?
