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.
