CVE-2026-82428 Details
Description
Description Dependency artifacts uploaded with `storm jar --artifacts` were stored under a blob key derived only from the Maven coordinate, for example `dep---.jar`. The key was therefore identical for every user of the cluster and predictable in advance. When the blob already existed, the uploader caught `KeyAlreadyExistsException` and silently reused it, with no check that the existing blob's content or owner matched the artifact the submitter had resolved. A user who uploaded a blob under such a key first therefore controlled the bytes that every later submitter of the same coordinate would receive on the worker classpath, resulting in code execution inside another tenant's topology. This affects deployments where more than one principal may create blobs and where the `--artifacts` dependency feature is used. Mitigation Upgrade to 3.1.0, where each uploaded artifact receives a key carrying a freshly generated UUID and a pre-existing blob is no longer silently reused. Note that the corrected key generation is on the SUBMITTING CLIENT, so upgrading the cluster alone does not close this; every client that runs `storm jar --artifacts` must also be upgraded. Operators should audit existing `dep-` blobs for unexpected owners before upgrading. Users who cannot upgrade immediately should avoid the `--artifacts` mechanism in multi-tenant clusters and distribute dependencies inside the topology jar instead. Credit The ASF -- found using Claude agents to study the security of open-source projects, validated and reported by Apache Storm.
A vulnerability exists in Apache Storm Client versions 3.0.0 prior to 3.1.0, allowing for cross-tenant dependency jar substitution. This issue arises because dependency artifacts uploaded with the 'storm jar --artifacts' command are stored under a predictable blob key based solely on the Maven coordinate. As a result, the same key is used for all users in the cluster. When a blob is uploaded under an existing key, the uploader receives a 'KeyAlreadyExistsException' and the blob is silently reused, without verifying if the content or owner of the existing blob matches the artifact being submitted. This flaw enables a user to control the bytes of a blob that later submitters receive on the worker classpath, potentially leading to unauthorized code execution within another tenant's topology.
Upgrade to Apache Storm Client version 3.1.0 or later, where each uploaded artifact is assigned a unique key generated from a UUID, and pre-existing blobs are no longer reused without verification. After upgrading the cluster, ensure that all clients running 'storm jar --artifacts' are also updated to version 3.1.0 or later. Audit existing 'dep-' blobs for unexpected owners before upgrading. If an immediate upgrade is not possible, avoid using the '--artifacts' feature in multi-tenant clusters and instead distribute dependencies within the topology jar.
