What is CVE-2017-9799?

A potential user impersonation vulnerability exists in Apache Storm due to improper handling of configurations. Under specific conditions, an owner of a topology could manipulate the system to execute a worker process under the context of another non-root user. This situation heightens the risk of exposing sensitive credentials belonging to that user, leading to possible unauthorized access or escalation of privileges.
