What is CVE-2026-82439?

The DRPC server in Apache Storm retains function names sent by clients, creating persistent entries that are never removed. This accumulation can lead to heap exhaustion, as the number of retained entries grows with each unique function name an attacker sends. Without proper mitigation such as upgrading to version 3.1.0 or configuring the 'drpc.authorizer' to restrict access to trusted principals, the server risks becoming non-operational due to memory depletion.

Affected Version(s)

Apache Storm DRPC 3.0.0 < 3.1.0
