L Improper Control of Interaction Frequency org.apache.cassandra:cassandra-all is a maven plugin for the Apache Cassandra Project. Which, develops a highly scalable second-generation distributed database, bringing together Dynamo's fully distributed design and Bigtable's ColumnFamily-based data model. Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Control of Interaction Frequency via the `alterRole` path in `org/apache/cassandra/auth/CassandraRoleManager.java`. An authenticated attacker can increase query latency and overload the auth path by rapidly changing a role's password. The vulnerable code accepts password updates through CQL role alteration and performs a `writetime(salted_hash)` lookup on each change, allowing a logged-in user with role-management privileges to trigger repeated expensive auth-table reads and writes.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Man-in-the-Middle (MitM). It is possible for a local attacker without access to the Apache Cassandra process or configuration files to manipulate the RMI registry to perform a man-in-the-middle attack and capture user names and passwords used to access the JMX interface.
