Recent Apache Storm Security Vulnerabilities
On unix-like systems, the temporary directory is shared between all user
CVE-2023-43123
5.5 - Medium
- November 23, 2023
On unix-like systems, the temporary directory is shared between all user. As such, writing to this directory using APIs that do not explicitly set the file/directory permissions can lead to information disclosure. Of note, this does not impact modern MacOS Operating Systems. The method File.createTempFile on unix-like systems creates a file with predefined name (so easily identifiable) and by default will create this file with the permissions -rw-r--r--. Thus, if sensitive information is written to this file, other local users can read this information. File.createTempFile(String, String) will create a temporary file in the system temporary directory if the 'java.io.tmpdir' system property is not explicitly set. This affects the class https://github.com/apache/storm/blob/master/storm-core/src/jvm/org/apache/storm/utils/TopologySpoutLag.java#L99 and was introduced by https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-3123 In practice, this has a very limited impact as this class is used only if ui.disable.spout.lag.monitoring is set to false, but its value is true by default. Moreover, the temporary file gets deleted soon after its creation. The solution is to use Files.createTempFile https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/nio/file/Files.html#createTempFile(java.lang.String,java.lang.String,java.nio.file.attribute.FileAttribute...) instead. We recommend that all users upgrade to the latest version of Apache Storm.
An Unsafe Deserialization vulnerability exists in the worker services of the Apache Storm supervisor server
CVE-2021-40865
9.8 - Critical
- October 25, 2021
An Unsafe Deserialization vulnerability exists in the worker services of the Apache Storm supervisor server allowing pre-auth Remote Code Execution (RCE). Apache Storm 2.2.x users should upgrade to version 2.2.1 or 2.3.0. Apache Storm 2.1.x users should upgrade to version 2.1.1. Apache Storm 1.x users should upgrade to version 1.2.4

A Command Injection vulnerability exists in the getTopologyHistory service of the Apache Storm 2.x prior to 2.2.1 and Apache Storm 1.x prior to 1.2.4
CVE-2021-38294
9.8 - Critical
- October 25, 2021
A Command Injection vulnerability exists in the getTopologyHistory service of the Apache Storm 2.x prior to 2.2.1 and Apache Storm 1.x prior to 1.2.4. A specially crafted thrift request to the Nimbus server allows Remote Code Execution (RCE) prior to authentication.
Shell injection
The Apache Storm Logviewer daemon exposes HTTP-accessible endpoints to read/search log files on hosts running Storm
CVE-2019-0202
7.5 - High
- July 26, 2019
The Apache Storm Logviewer daemon exposes HTTP-accessible endpoints to read/search log files on hosts running Storm. In Apache Storm versions 0.9.1-incubating to 1.2.2, it is possible to read files off the host's file system that were not intended to be accessible via these endpoints.
Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File
In Apache Storm versions 1.1.0 to 1.2.2
CVE-2018-11779
9.8 - Critical
- July 26, 2019
In Apache Storm versions 1.1.0 to 1.2.2, when the user is using the storm-kafka-client or storm-kafka modules, it is possible to cause the Storm UI daemon to deserialize user provided bytes into a Java class.
Marshaling, Unmarshaling
In Apache Storm 0.10.0 through 0.10.2
CVE-2018-1331
8.8 - High
- July 10, 2018
In Apache Storm 0.10.0 through 0.10.2, 1.0.0 through 1.0.6, 1.1.0 through 1.1.2, and 1.2.0 through 1.2.1, an attacker with access to a secure storm cluster in some cases could execute arbitrary code as a different user.
Apache Storm version 1.0.6 and earlier, 1.2.1 and earlier, and version 1.1.2 and earlier expose a vulnerability
CVE-2018-1332
6.5 - Medium
- June 05, 2018
Apache Storm version 1.0.6 and earlier, 1.2.1 and earlier, and version 1.1.2 and earlier expose a vulnerability that could allow a user to impersonate another user when communicating with some Storm Daemons.
Information Disclosure
Apache Storm version 1.0.6 and earlier, 1.2.1 and earlier, and version 1.1.2 and earlier expose an arbitrary file write vulnerability
CVE-2018-8008
5.5 - Medium
- June 05, 2018
Apache Storm version 1.0.6 and earlier, 1.2.1 and earlier, and version 1.1.2 and earlier expose an arbitrary file write vulnerability, that can be achieved using a specially crafted zip archive (affects other archives as well, bzip2, tar, xz, war, cpio, 7z), that holds path traversal filenames. So when the filename gets concatenated to the target extraction directory, the final path ends up outside of the target folder.
