CVE-2026-82432 Details
Description
Description Nimbus validated `topology.blobstore.map` against the calling subject at submission time only. The rebalance operation accepts configuration overrides and stripped a small set of keys from them, but never re-ran that validation, so a caller authorised to rebalance a topology could introduce a blobstore map entry naming a blob whose ACL does not grant them access. Supervisors localise whatever key the map names, placing the blob's contents into the topology's working directory. The same advisory covers `listBlobs`, which performed no authorization check and passed no subject, unlike the neighbouring `getBlobMeta` and `beginBlobDownload` operations. It therefore returned every key in the blobstore to any caller able to reach the Nimbus Thrift port, which provides the key names that make the above practical. On its own the disclosure is metadata only. Mitigation Upgrade to 3.1.0, where rebalance configuration overrides are validated exactly as submission-time configuration is, against the rebalancing caller, and where `listBlobs` applies the configured authorization. Users who cannot upgrade immediately should restrict rebalance rights to trusted principals, keeping in mind that membership of a topology's `topology.users` or `topology.groups` confers them. 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 Nimbus versions 3.0.0 prior to 3.1.0, allowing for an authorization bypass in the blobstore management. The issue arises because Nimbus only validates the blobstore map against the calling subject at the time of submission. When a topology is rebalanced, configuration overrides are accepted but not re-validated, enabling a caller authorized to rebalance to introduce a blobstore entry that references a blob whose access control list does not permit them access. This vulnerability is compounded by the 'listBlobs' operation, which lacks any authorization check and can be accessed by any caller who can reach the Nimbus Thrift port, thereby disclosing all blobstore keys.
Users are advised to upgrade to Apache Storm version 3.1.0 or later, where the vulnerability has been addressed. For those unable to upgrade immediately, it is recommended to restrict rebalance rights to trusted principals.
