> *Description*
> ConsumerGroup.validateOffsetCommit() looks up the member by memberId without first validating the current owner of groupInstanceId.
> When static member A is replaced by member B using the same instance ID, A’s member ID is removed. A subsequent non-transactional OffsetCommit from A therefore receives UNKNOWN_MEMBER_ID instead of FENCED_INSTANCE_ID.
> Under the same conditions, OffsetCommit in a ClassicGroup and classic Heartbeat in a ConsumerGroup return FENCED_INSTANCE_ID.
> *Impact*
> Upon receiving UNKNOWN_MEMBER_ID from OffsetCommit, the classic client clears its member ID and requests to rejoin. A rejoin request with an empty member ID and the same instance ID can replace the current static member B again.
> Heartbeat fencing does not always prevent this. If the commit error resets the generation first, a delayed fencing heartbeat response for the previous generation can be ignored as stale.
> *Expected Behavior*
> For replaced classic static members in a ConsumerGroup, OffsetCommit should preserve the existing static membership fencing behavior and return FENCED_INSTANCE_ID.
>  
> *NOTE*
> {{ConsumerGroup.validateOffsetCommit()}} also handles members using the new consumer protocol. The new client’s commit response handler has no dedicated handling for {{{}FENCED_INSTANCE_ID{}}}, so any additional validation must consider compatibility with both protocols.
