Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-09-14 15:32 – Updated: 2026-09-14 21:31Description
Three separate mechanisms allowed a web page on an unrelated origin to read responses that Storm's HTTP components served to an authenticated user.
The Logviewer reflected the request's Origin header back in Access-Control-Allow-Origin while also
sending Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true. The published security model documents a permissive
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * posture as accepted, which is safe precisely because browsers refuse to
honour * together with credentials; reflecting the concrete origin removes that protection.
The shared CORS filter used by the UI, the Logviewer and DRPC was configured with a response header name where an initialisation parameter name was expected. The container ignored the setting and applied its own defaults, which allow credentials.
Finally, the UI and Logviewer wrapped API responses in a caller-supplied JSONP callback for every GET request. A script element on any origin can load such a response, which bypasses the same-origin policy entirely rather than negotiating it, and there was no way to turn the behaviour off.
In each case the effect is that a page visited by an authenticated operator can read cluster, topology and log data on their behalf.
Mitigation
Upgrade to 3.1.0, where the Logviewer no longer reflects the request origin in a credentialed response, the
CORS filter is configured explicitly, and JSONP wrapping is governed by ui.enable.jsonp, which defaults to
false.
Note that disabling JSONP is a behaviour change for tooling that passes a callback query parameter; such
tooling should be moved to ordinary JSON requests.
Users who cannot upgrade immediately should place the UI, Logviewer and DRPC HTTP endpoints behind a reverse
proxy that strips Access-Control-Allow-Origin and Access-Control-Allow-Credentials from responses and
rejects requests carrying a callback parameter.

Nomenclature
- Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
- Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
- Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
- Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
- Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.

How durations are calculated
Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.
Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
