NewCVE-2024-27137 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade org.apache.cassandra:cassandra-all to version 4.0.15, 4.1.8, 5.0.3 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 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. The attacker can then use these credentials to access the JMX interface and perform unauthorized operations.
Note: This vulnerability only affects applications running on Java 11. It is the same vulnerability as the one described in CVE-2020-13946 for prior Java versions.
