Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Privilege Defined With Unsafe Actions in `auth/Permission.java`. A user who has `MODIFY` permission on `ALL KEYSPACES` can escalate privileges to superuser because `ALL KEYSPACES` allows access and modification of system keyspaces by default.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Man-in-the-Middle (MitM).
