CVE-2026-82434: Description When ZooKeeper authentication is configured, Storm deliberately retains `storm.zookeeper.topology.auth.payl

A vulnerability in Storm allows users with read-only permission to view a topology to access the ZooKeeper credential (a password-like token for accessing ZooKeeper, the system that manages Storm cluster state) that is stored in the topology configuration. This credential has write access, meaning someone who obtains it could forge or delete important cluster state data like worker heartbeats and error messages. Additionally, this credential was also accidentally logged in plain text in system logs and support bundles.
