An authenticated Storm client can run DRPC functions limited to another user; 3.2.0 fixes storm-server.

Apache rated CVE-2026-124496 low. On storm-server 3.0.0 before 3.2.0, the DRPC HTTP endpoint lets an authenticated client use doAsUser without the configured impersonation authorizer. The client can then execute DRPC functions restricted to another user. Version 3.2.0 fixes the issue.
