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.

CVE-2026-59739: Apache ZooKeeper: Information disclosure via SetWatches reconnect replay

CVE-2026-59739: Apache ZooKeeper missing ACL check in SetWatches reconnect replay lets attackers discover ACL-restricted znode paths.

Apache ZooKeeper versions 3.8.0-3.8.6 and 3.9.0-3.9.5 contain a critical information disclosure (CVE-2026-59739) caused by a missing ACL check during SetWatches reconnect replay. An attacker can register exists-watches on non-existent paths and reconnect after those paths are created, revealing the existence of ACL-restricted paths. The issue is fixed in patched releases.

Cisco Secure Firewall Adaptive Security Appliance and Secure Firewall Threat Defense Software Object Group Access Control List Bypass Vulnerabilities

Cisco patched ACL Object Group Search bypass flaws in ASA and FTD firewall software that let unauthenticated attackers reach protected networks.

Cisco disclosed multiple vulnerabilities in the ACL Object Group Search implementation of Secure Firewall ASA and FTD Software, caused by a logic error in populating group access control policies. An unauthenticated remote attacker could send traffic that should be blocked through the device, bypassing configured access controls. Cisco has released software updates; no exploitation is mentioned.

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-2026-82431: Apache Storm Client: Authorization Bypass When nimbus.groups Is Configured Without nimbus.users

Apache Storm Client 3.0.0 ACL bypass lets every authenticated principal bypass restrictions when nimbus.groups is set without nimbus.users.

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.

Securing the unpatchable in an age of AI-driven vulnerabilities

Cisco Talos argues AI-driven vulnerability discovery leaves unpatchable OT systems exposed, recommending virtual patching via NGFW/IPS and micro-segmentation.

AI-assisted code analysis is uncovering vulnerabilities faster than organizations can patch, leaving certified or end-of-life OT systems with unmitigated known flaws. Talos recommends virtual patching with next-generation firewalls and IPS, micro-segmentation using VLANs and ACLs, and building visibility-based inventories of legacy systems. The article cites WannaCry's impact on the NHS and 2023 exploitation of end-of-life software in government systems, and warns that air gaps and data diodes are routinely circumvented by operational shortcuts.
