How to fix?

Upgrade org.apache.cassandra:cassandra-all to version 3.0.26, 3.11.12, 4.0.2 or higher.

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 Arbitrary Code Injection. It is possible for an attacker to create a scripted UDF which executes arbitrary code on the server.

This can be exploited with the following functions: enable_user_defined_functions: true, enable_scripted_user_defined_functions: true, enable_user_defined_functions_threads: false
