CVE-2015-3188: Apache Storm remote code execution vulnerability

The UI daemon in Apache Storm 0.10.0-beta allows remote users to run arbitrary code as the user running the web server. With kerberos authentication this could allow impersonation of arbitrary users on other systems, including HDFS and HBase.

Root Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stems from insufficient authentication in the Storm UI's REST API endpoints. The advisory explicitly states remote code execution via the UI daemon, and the REST API documentation shows these endpoints accept topology management operations. In version 0.10.0-beta, the authentication filter configuration (ui.filter) was either missing or improperly implemented, allowing unauthenticated access to privileged operations. The first patched version (0.10.0-beta1) likely added authentication checks to these endpoint handlers. The functions handling POST requests to /api/v1/topology/{id}/activate, /deactivate, /rebalance, and /kill would be the vulnerable entry points.
