Apache Storm Logviewer: Log Access Controls Not Enforced by Logviewer
Description The Logviewer offers `logs.users` and `logs.groups` so operators can control who may read log content. For daemon logs those settings were not applied: the access decision combined the "this is a daemon log" flag with the authorizer result in a way that discarded the authorizer's answer whenever the flag was set, and the daemon log page and download endpoints reached the handler without consulting an authorizer at all. Any user able to pass the configured servlet filter could therefore read `nimbus.log`, `supervisor.log` and the other daemon logs on every reachable node, which contain other tenants' topology names, owners and configuration fragments. The same advisory covers the log listing endpoints, which accepted a user argument and never applied it, so `/listLogs` and `/searchLogs` returned every tenant's topology and worker log file names regardless of the caller. That part is metadata only. There was no configuration that closed either behaviour. Mitigation Upgrade to 3.1.0, where the daemon log paths evaluate the same configured user and group lists that the worker log paths already used, and the listing endpoints filter by the requesting user. Users who cannot upgrade immediately should place the Logviewer behind a reverse proxy that restricts the daemon log endpoints, and should treat daemon log content as readable by any filter-authenticated user.
