CVE-2026-82434Not yet in NVD's feed. The description, CVSS and CWE below come from the CVE Numbering Authority's own record, not from NVD analyst review. NVD's own page for this identifier may not exist yet.
Published yesterday. NVD backfills CPE data for days or weeks after publication, and OSV and the exploit indexes lag too. Scope and status here may change.
Description
When ZooKeeper authentication is configured, Storm deliberately retains
storm.zookeeper.topology.auth.payload in the topology configuration, because workers need it. Nimbus then
served that configuration verbatim to any caller holding read-only topology permissions, so a user whose
only grant was the ability to view a topology received its ZooKeeper credential.
That credential is not read-only. The cluster state implementation uses write-capable ACLs for worker
heartbeats, backpressure and error state, so a recipient can forge or remove that state for the topology
concerned. It is not a write credential on assignments.
The same advisory covers the submission client, which logged the generated payload at INFO on every
submission that generated one, and the SASL handlers, which logged it at DEBUG. The credential therefore
also reached any log aggregation or support bundle collected from the cluster.
Mitigation
Upgrade to 3.1.0, where the payload is removed from the configuration served to read-only callers and is no
longer written to logs.
Users who cannot upgrade immediately should rotate storm.zookeeper.topology.auth.payload for existing
topologies, review retained logs and support bundles for the value, and restrict read-only topology
permissions to trusted principals.

No public exploit
Nothing published shows this CVE being exploited, which is not the same as ruling it out.
CVSS E:U
In RASP's scope, but nothing published names a fix and nothing published shows an exploit. Neither of the two things VRT can act on exists, which is a claim about the available evidence, not about the vulnerability.
| Decided by | no-exploit : With no fix path, a public exploit, or a CISA record of one |
|---|---|
| Finding | Resolved from QUEUED-FOR-REVIEW: this CVE affects a known product, but nothing published names a fix and nothing published shows an exploit. That is a statement about the evidence, not about the defect — it does not mean the vulnerability is unimportant or unreachable, only that neither of the two things VRT can act on exists. |

1 metric
VRT selects the newest version's highest entry and
publishes it as cvssScore, newest rather than largest because scores are not comparable
across versions, and highest rather than first because the first entry is frequently a CNA placeholder
scoring 0.0 over NVD's own analysis.
