Overview

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 Man-in-the-Middle (MitM). When using dc or rack internode_encryption setting, a Cassandra instance allows both encrypted and unencrypted connections. A misconfigured node or a malicious user can use the unencrypted connection despite not being in the same rack or dc, and bypass mutual TLS requirement.
