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-2026-82437: 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.

Your Cloud Security Checklist Doesn't Work the Way You Think It Does

Intruder's 2026 Cloud Security Index found misconfiguration risk profiles differ sharply across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud across 3,000 organizations.

Intruder analyzed misconfiguration data from 3,000 organizations across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud for its 2026 Cloud Security Index. Weak IAM controls and missing logging affected 80-98% of accounts regardless of provider, while exposed services ranged from 76% on AWS to just 8% on Google Cloud. Top issues included S3 buckets without HTTPS enforcement (87% of AWS accounts), Entra ID users without MFA (55% of Azure accounts), and missing OS Login MFA (77% of Google Cloud accounts). Weak IAM prevalence rose with organization size, from 87% at SMEs to 98% at large enterprises, and midmarket organizations took the longest to remediate at 35 days on average.
