CVE-2026-124495Apache Storm link following
CVE-2026-124495 is a link following in Apache Storm, not yet scored.
Why this priority: Not scored yet, and no exploitation signal.
Published · Updated · NVD status: Received
What it is
The software follows a symbolic link an attacker planted, so it reads or writes a file other than the one it checked.
How it is reached
The record does not say yet how the flaw is reached; the description below is the best guide until it is scored.
What an attacker gains
Its impact has not been scored yet. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker read or write files outside the folders the service meant to expose.
Is it being exploited?
There is no public report of exploitation yet.
What to do
- Upgrade Apache Storm to 3.2.0 or later.
Description from NVD
When workers run as the topology owner, the Logviewer serves files that a worker has placed in its own log directory as links to other files. A user who is allowed to submit topologies can read the worker logs of other users' topologies, and other files the Logviewer process can read. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.2.0, which fixes the issue.
What this means for your architecture.
A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.
Components it touches
- File storage the service can read or write. The flaw sits between the application and the file system it can reach.
Trust boundaries in play
- Between the application and the file system it can reach. An attacker who crosses it can read or write files outside the folders the service meant to expose.
Questions to answer about your own systems
- Where does Apache Storm run in your systems, and at which version?
- Which of those instances are reachable by people you do not trust?
- What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
