      <title>CVE-2026-82440 — Apache Storm Nimbus: Submitter-Controlled Class Instantiation in Nimbus via a Fail-Open Scheduler Strategy Allowlist</title>
      <link>https://db.gcve.eu/vuln/cve-2026-82440</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Apache Software Foundation Apache Storm Nimbus&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Description&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nimbus instantiates the class named by a topology&amp;#39;s `topology.scheduler.strategy` when scheduling it. The
allowlist intended to constrain that choice, `nimbus.scheduler.strategy.class.whitelist`, was treated as
&amp;#34;allow any class&amp;#34; when unset, and it had no entry in the shipped `defaults.yaml`, so unset was the shipped
state. An authenticated submitter could therefore cause Nimbus to instantiate any class on the Nimbus
classpath that has a no-argument constructor.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Storm&amp;#39;s own production artifacts contain classes with side effects suitable for this: instantiating
`org.apache.storm.testing.InProcessZookeeper` starts a ZooKeeper server with its own threads and sockets
and nothing closes it, and `org.apache.storm.LocalCluster` behaves similarly. Repeated submissions
therefore consume threads, sockets and memory in the most privileged daemon in the cluster.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mitigation&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Upgrade to 3.1.0, where an unset allowlist means the strategies shipped with Storm rather than any class.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that this is a behaviour change: a cluster running an out-of-tree scheduler strategy without an
explicit allowlist will have those topologies refused until the class is added to
`nimbus.scheduler.strategy.class.whitelist`. The rejection message names the refused class and the
configuration key.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users who cannot upgrade immediately should set `nimbus.scheduler.strategy.class.whitelist` explicitly to
the strategies they intend to permit.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
