CVE-2026-82441: Apache Storm Nimbus: Cross-Tenant Blob Deletion and Cluster Denial of Service via Unvalidated Topology Dependency Keys

Unvalidated topology dependency keys in Apache Storm Nimbus 3.0.0 enable cross-tenant blob deletion and cluster denial of service.

CVE-2026-82441 (severity: moderate) affects Apache Storm Nimbus (storm-server) versions 3.0.0 before 3.1.0. Topology submissions carry dependency_jars and dependency_artifacts blobstore key lists that Nimbus never validated on the submission path, yet acted on during cleanup of finished topologies. A malicious submitter could reference arbitrary blobstore keys, causing cross-tenant blob deletion and cluster-wide denial of service.

CVE-2026-82439: Apache Storm DRPC: Unauthenticated Unbounded Memory Growth in DRPC

Unauthenticated DRPC requests to Apache Storm 3.0.0 cause unbounded memory growth in the function-name queue map, enabling DoS.

CVE-2026-82439 (severity: important) affects Apache Storm DRPC (storm-server) versions 3.0.0 before 3.1.0. The DRPC server maintained a map from function name to request queue, creating an entry on first sight of a name, but no code path ever removed entries: request cleanup removed requests from queues but the queue objects and map entries persisted. An unauthenticated attacker could send requests for arbitrary function names to drive unbounded memory growth and crash the server.

CVE-2026-82438: Apache Storm Webapp: Authenticated API Responses Exposed to Arbitrary Web Origins

Three CORS misconfigurations in Apache Storm 3.0.0 let malicious web pages from arbitrary origins read authenticated API responses.

CVE-2026-82438 (severity: important) affects Apache Storm Webapp (storm-webapp) versions 3.0.0 before 3.1.0. Three separate mechanisms allowed a web page on an unrelated origin to read responses served to authenticated users, including the Logviewer reflecting the request's Origin header in Access-Control-Allow-Origin while also sending Access-Control-Allow-Credentials. This enables a malicious site to silently exfiltrate authenticated Storm API and log data from a victim's browser session.

CVE-2026-82437: Apache Storm Logviewer: Log Access Controls Not Enforced by Logviewer

Apache Storm Logviewer ignores logs.users and logs.groups ACLs for daemon logs, letting unauthorized users read sensitive logs.

CVE-2026-82437 (severity: moderate) affects Apache Storm Logviewer (storm-webapp) versions 3.0.0 before 3.1.0. The Logviewer offers logs.users and logs.groups settings for operators to control who may read log content, but for daemon logs the access decision combined the "this is a daemon log" flag with the authorizer result in a way that discarded the authorizer's answer. As a result, configured access controls were not enforced and unauthorized users could read daemon log content.

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.

CVE-2026-82432: Apache Storm Nimbus: Blobstore Authorization Bypass via Rebalance Configuration Overrides

Apache Storm Nimbus blobstore authorization bypass via rebalance configuration overrides, fixed in 3.1.0.

CVE-2026-82432 (rated moderate) affects Apache Storm Nimbus (storm-server) versions 3.0.0 before 3.1.0. Nimbus validates topology.blobstore.map against the calling subject only at topology submission time. The rebalance operation accepts configuration overrides and strips a small set of keys but never re-runs that validation, so a caller authorized only to rebalance a topology can introduce an unauthorized blobstore map.

CVE-2026-82431 affects Apache Storm Client (org.apache.storm:storm-client) versions 3.0.0 before 3.1.0. SimpleACLAuthorizer returned early when nimbus.users was empty, before evaluating nimbus.groups. Operators restricting cluster access by group alone received no restriction, so any authenticated principal could execute user-level commands. Fixed in version 3.1.0.

CVE-2026-82430: Apache Storm Worker Launcher: Local Privilege Escalation to Root via Container Command Files Chowned to the Tenant

Setuid-root Apache Storm worker-launcher chowns worker directory to the tenant before reading its command file, enabling local root privilege escalation.

CVE-2026-82430 affects Apache Storm Worker Launcher (org.apache.storm:storm-core) versions 3.0.0 before 3.1.0, rated important. When launching Docker or OCI workers, the setuid-root worker-launcher transfers ownership of the entire worker directory to the untrusted topology user before reading and acting on the supervisor-written command file in that directory. An untrusted tenant can tamper with the command file to achieve local privilege escalation to root. Fixed in version 3.1.0.

CVE-2026-82429: Apache Storm Worker Launcher: Local Privilege Escalation to Root via a Time-of-Check Race in the Worker Launcher

Apache Storm's setuid-root worker-launcher re-resolves paths during recursive chown/chmod, letting local users win a race to escalate to root.

CVE-2026-82429 affects Apache Storm Worker Launcher (org.apache.storm:storm-core) versions 3.0.0 before 3.1.0, rated important. The setuid-root worker-launcher walks worker directories with FTS calling lchown and chmod on full pathnames while running with effective uid 0, and both syscalls re-resolve the path at call time. A local attacker can exploit this time-of-check race by swapping path components to gain root privileges. Fixed in version 3.1.0.

CVE-2026-82428: Apache Storm Client: Cross-Tenant Dependency Jar Substitution via Predictable Blob Keys

Apache Storm stores shared dependency jars under predictable Maven-derived blob keys, allowing one tenant to substitute jars other tenants execute.

CVE-2026-82428 affects Apache Storm Client (org.apache.storm:storm-client) versions 3.0.0 before 3.1.0, rated important. Dependency artifacts uploaded with storm jar --artifacts were stored under blob keys derived only from the Maven coordinate, making keys identical and predictable for every cluster user. When a blob already existed, the uploader suppressed the collision, enabling a tenant to substitute dependency jars later executed by other tenants in cross-tenant attacks. Fixed in version 3.1.0.

CVE-2026-82427: Apache Storm Nimbus: Path Traversal as the Supervisor User via Unsanitised Blobstore Map Local Name

Unsanitised topology.blobstore.map local names in Apache Storm enable path traversal writes on supervisors as the supervisor user.

CVE-2026-82427 affects Apache Storm Nimbus (org.apache.storm:storm-server) versions 3.0.0 before 3.1.0, rated important. Topology submitters can choose a local name for each blob in topology.blobstore.map, which AsyncLocalizer and Container.createBlobstoreLinks used to build paths under the topology's working directory without normalisation. Crafted names allow path traversal, letting a submitter create or overwrite files outside the intended directory on supervisors, with symlink handling also affected. Fixed in version 3.1.0.

CVE-2026-82426: Apache Storm Nimbus: Arbitrary File Read on Nimbus via Unvalidated Uploaded Jar Location

Apache Storm Nimbus 3.0.0 before 3.1.0 allows arbitrary server-side file read via unvalidated uploadedJarLocation in submitTopology calls.

CVE-2026-82426 (rated important) affects Apache Storm Nimbus (org.apache.storm:storm-server) versions 3.0.0 before 3.1.0. Nimbus accepted the uploadedJarLocation argument of submitTopology/submitTopologyWithOpts as a server-side path and opened it directly, without verifying the caller had actually uploaded that file via beginFileUpload. This enables arbitrary file read on the Nimbus host; the issue is fixed in version 3.1.0.

CVE-2026-79993: Apache ZooKeeper: Missing ACL check on deleteContainer opcode allows unauthorized deletion of any empty persistent/container znode

Critical ZooKeeper flaw lets any authenticated client delete arbitrary empty persistent or container znodes by bypassing ACL checks.

CVE-2026-79993 (critical severity) affects Apache ZooKeeper 3.9.0-3.9.5 and 3.8.0-3.8.6. The deleteContainer opcode (0x14/20) is processed without verifying the caller's ACL permissions, allowing any authenticated client to delete specific empty znodes in the data tree regardless of ACL restrictions on the znode or its parent. This can corrupt coordination state for dependent distributed systems like Kafka, HBase, or Solr clusters relying on ZooKeeper.

Stealth rootkit targeting F5 BIG-IP could expose enterprise identity gateways

Sophos analyzed a stealth Linux rootkit that hides a web shell in memory on compromised F5 BIG-IP APM identity gateways, evading file-based detection.

Sophos analyzed a second-stage Linux rootkit implant found in compromised F5 BIG-IP APM environments running Apache and PHP, linked to exploitation of CVE-2025-53521, an unauthenticated RCE. The implant hooks Apache's PHP-loading process and serves modified in-memory versions of three legitimate webtop PHP files (apm_css.php3, full_wt.php3, webtop_popup_css.php3), leaving on-disk files untouched so hashes and integrity checks pass. It also establishes access via an authenticated local UNIX socket that can provide an interactive /bin/bash session. Experts warn compromised APM appliances, which handle federated SSO and terminate TLS at enterprise perimeters, could enable SSO token theft and lateral movement to trusted downstream applications.

Google stole open source code without crediting the authors (Artemis/Minitap)

Minitap alleges Google's Artemis mobile-agent project reused its open-source mobile-use code and stripped author attribution, despite Apache 2.0 requirements.

Minitap says Google's Artemis project for automating mobile devices contains code identical to its open-source mobile-use agent, including the Hopper agent's verbatim instructions and a WhatsApp messaging example, and that a package file listing authors Pierre-Louis Favreau, Jean-Pierre Lo, and Nicolas Dehandschoewercker was replaced via an August force push removing their names. The company argues this conflicts with Apache 2.0's requirement to preserve copyright and attribution notices. Minitap also claims the AndroidWorld leaderboard ignored its later 94.8% and 100% submissions while showing Artemis at 99.1% and mobile-use at 91.4%. It has published a public factual record with archived file comparisons.

Agent-net Open Sources Webagent: A Go Harness That Turns Any Website into a Guarded AI Agent

Agent-net open-sourced Webagent, a Go harness turning websites into AI agents with code-enforced guardrails wrapping every tool call.

Agent-net released Webagent under Apache 2.0, a Go framework where a business fills in a declarative JSON spec, picks one provider for each of nine pluggable slots (retrieval, memory, guardrail, channel, secrets, presenter, model, action, observability), and runs webagent serve. Every tool the agent holds is wrapped by action.Guard so the chosen guardrail executes before any action runs and the model cannot bypass it. Live capabilities include OpenRouter/gateway LLM brains, MCP tools over Streamable HTTP, and Slack, WhatsApp, and HTTP channels; browser actions, OAuth-gated MCP, OTel export, and AgentNet identity/billing are not yet built. The project is v0 with a deferred-hardening list and cites arXiv 2511.19477 on an 85% versus 50% task-success gap attributed to architecture over model capability.

AI is adding to the review load on open-source projects, many of them thinly funded

ACM Technology Policy Council authors warn AI-generated code is overwhelming thinly funded open-source maintainers, raising software supply chain security risks.

Six authors including Simson Garfinkel and Josiah Dykstra, writing for the ACM Technology Policy Council, argue AI coding tools flood open-source projects with contributions that human maintainers must still review. They cite Google's CodeMender agent contributing 72 security fixes to open-source projects, some as large as 4.5 million lines of code, between April and October 2025. Funding is lopsided: the Linux Foundation raised $292,217,236 in 2024 versus $2,379,402 for the Apache Software Foundation. They also note most open-source applications still ship no SBOM despite US and EU mandates, and attackers increasingly plant malicious packages in popular repositories.
