CVE-2026-82435: Apache Storm Worker: Unauthenticated Remote Memory Exhaustion in the Worker Messaging Decoder
Unauthenticated remote memory exhaustion in Apache Storm Worker 3.0.x Netty decoder fixed in 3.1.0, allowing pre-auth denial of service.
CVE-2026-82435 (rated important) affects Apache Storm Worker (org.apache.storm:storm-client) versions 3.0.0 before 3.1.0. The worker's Netty message decoder sits ahead of SASL authentication handlers and processes frames before any authentication occurs. It allocates buffers sized from an attacker-controlled length field, so a single frame from an unauthenticated peer reaching the worker can exhaust memory. Users must upgrade to 3.1.0.
Cloudflare Workers Spectre Attack Leaks JWT From Co
Researchers demonstrated a remote Spectre attack leaking a JWT between co-located Cloudflare Workers at 12 bits per second, 360x the 2021 rate.
Security researchers showed a remote Spectre attack against Cloudflare Workers that leaked a JWT from a co-located Worker at up to 12 bits per second with 99.16% accuracy, 360 times the 2021 demonstration rate. The attack exploited weaknesses in DyPrIs dynamic process isolation, where long-lived Durable Object invocations could run before isolation and WebSocket-heavy I/O suppressed the branch-misprediction signal. Cloudflare deployed improved DyPrIs, the V8 Sandbox, and MPK-based in-process isolation, and found no indicators of active exploitation over three years.
