CVE-2017-9799: Moderate severity vulnerability that affects org.apache.storm:storm-core

October 17, 2018 (updated September 21, 2021)

It was found that under some situations and configurations of Apache Storm 1.x before 1.0.4 and 1.1.x before 1.1.1, it is theoretically possible for the owner of a topology to trick the supervisor to launch a worker as a different, non-root, user. In the worst case this could lead to secure credentials of the other user being compromised.
