How to fix?

Upgrade org.apache.storm:storm-core to version 2.6.0 or higher.

Overview

org.apache.storm:storm-core is a distributed realtime computation system.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor via the File.createTempFile method. A local attacker can read sensitive information by accessing the temporary file created in the system's temporary directory.

Note:

This is only exploitable if 'java.io.tmpdir' system property is not explicitly set and 'ui.disable.spout.lag.monitoring' is set to false. Also, the impact is limited as the temporary file gets deleted soon after its creation.

This vulnerability does not impact modern MacOS Operating Systems.
