CVE-2026-35337

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in Apache Storm. Versions Affected: before 2.8.6. Description: When processing topology credentials submitted via the Nimbus Thrift API, Storm deserializes the base64-encoded TGT blob using ObjectInputStream.readObject() without any class filtering or validation. An authenticated user with topology submission rights could supply a crafted serialized object in the "TGT" credential field, leading to remote code execution in both the Nimbus and Worker JVMs. Mitigation: 2.x users should upgrade to 2.8.6. Users who cannot upgrade immediately should monkey-patch an ObjectInputFilter allow-list to ClientAuthUtils.deserializeKerberosTicket() restricting deserialized classes to javax.security.auth.kerberos.KerberosTicket and its known dependencies. A guide on how to do this is available in the release notes of 2.8.6. Credit: This issue was discovered by K.

      "value": "Vulnerabilidad de deserialización de datos no confiables en Apache Storm.\n\nVersiones Afectadas:\nanteriores a 2.8.6.\n\nDescripción:\nAl procesar las credenciales de topología enviadas a través de la API Thrift de Nimbus, Storm deserializa el blob TGT codificado en base64 usando ObjectInputStream.readObject() sin ningún filtrado o validación de clases. Un usuario autenticado con derechos de envío de topología podría proporcionar un objeto serializado malintencionado en el campo de credenciales ’TGT’, lo que llevaría a la ejecución remota de código tanto en las JVM de Nimbus como en las de Worker.\n\nMitigación:\nLos usuarios de 2.x deberían actualizar a 2.8.6.\n\nLos usuarios que no puedan actualizar de inmediato deberían aplicar un monkey-patch de una lista de permitidos de ObjectInputFilter a ClientAuthUtils.deserializeKerberosTicket() restringiendo las clases deserializadas a javax.security.auth.kerberos.KerberosTicket y sus dependencias conocidas. Una guía sobre cómo hacer esto está disponible en las notas de la versión 2.8.6.\n\nCrédito: Este problema fue descubierto por K."
