Privilege escalation when enabling FQL/Audit logs allows user with JMX access to run arbitrary commands as the user running Apache Cassandra
This issue affects Apache Cassandra: from 4.0.0 through 4.0.9, from 4.1.0 through 4.1.1.
WORKAROUND
The vulnerability requires nodetool/JMX access to be exploitable, disable access for any non-trusted users.
MITIGATION
Upgrade to 4.0.10 or 4.1.2 and leave the new FQL/Auditlog configuration property allow_nodetool_archive_command as false.
Affected configurations
| CPE | Name | Operator | Version |
|---|---|---|---|
| org.apache.cassandra:cassandra-all | lt | 4.0.10 | |
| org.apache.cassandra:cassandra-all | lt | 4.1.2 |
