The Kafka systemd service file was owned by kafka:kafka — which got flagged by the security scan.
Files in /etc/systemd/system/ are system territory, so for consistency I changed owner and group to root. The Kafka process doesn't read or write its own unit file at runtime, so there's no reason it should own it. Beyond the scan, it's also a real risk — a compromised kafka user could edit the unit file and get code running as root on the next service restart.
