Description PRE-NVD

Disclosed via oss-security. NVD scoring and full description are pending.

AnalysisAI

ZooKeeper credential disclosure in Apache Storm 3.0.0 exposes storm.zookeeper.topology.auth.payload through two independent channels: Nimbus serves the full topology configuration verbatim to any caller holding read-only permissions, and the submission client logs the same payload at INFO level on every submission while SASL handlers emit it at DEBUG. An authenticated user with only read-only topology view rights can recover the ZooKeeper write credential and use it to forge or suppress worker heartbeats, backpressure, and error state for the affected topology, or indirectly obtain it via log aggregation pipelines or support bundles. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation via the Nimbus API requires: (1) ZooKeeper authentication must be configured in the Storm cluster (i.e., `storm.zookeeper.topology.auth.payload` is set and non-empty); (2) the attacker must hold a valid Storm credential with at least read-only topology permissions for the target topology; (3) direct or proxied network access to the Nimbus Thrift API port. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS score is absent from available data, requiring full independent assessment. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade both org.apache.storm:storm-server and org.apache.storm:storm-client to version 3.1.0, where Nimbus strips `storm.zookeeper.topology.auth.payload` from configuration responses served to read-only callers and the logging of the credential is removed from both the submission client (INFO) and SASL handlers (DEBUG). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
