Description PRE-NVD

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

AnalysisAI

The Storm UI topology REST endpoint (GET /api/v1/topology/{id}) in Apache Storm 3.0.0 returned a merged Nimbus daemon and topology configuration without credential redaction, exposing ZooKeeper authentication payloads and TLS keystore/truststore passwords to any principal holding topology read-only access. This privilege gap is significant because the dedicated getNimbusConf API already redacted these secrets and required elevated nimbus.users membership, yet the topology page - which merges in strictly more daemon state - was unprotected. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires all of the following: (1) Apache Storm version 3.0.0 deployed with both Nimbus and Storm UI components; (2) the attacker must hold a valid principal listed in `topology.readonly.users`, `topology.readonly.groups`, `topology.users`, or `topology.groups` on at least one topology - unauthenticated exploitation is not possible; (3) the Storm cluster must have sensitive values such as `storm.zookeeper.auth.payload` or TLS keystore/truststore passwords present in the Nimbus daemon configuration (e.g., storm-cluster-auth.yaml) for those specific secrets to appear in the leaked response - clusters that have not configured ZooKeeper auth or TLS at the daemon level are unaffected for those specific keys, though any other daemon-level configuration key is still returned unredacted. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The Apache Security Team rated this 'important'. … 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 Vendor-released patch: Apache Storm 3.1.0, which masks credential-bearing values before serving any configuration over the Nimbus Thrift API, eliminating the disclosure at source for both the topology page and the metrics endpoint. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: immediately restrict network access to the Storm UI REST endpoint /api/v1/topology/{id} using firewall rules or reverse proxy authentication controls; rotate all ZooKeeper authentication credentials and TLS keystore/truststore passwords used by Apache Storm 3.0.0 clusters; audit authentication logs for any unauthorized API access patterns. …
