Summary
  • (es) Vulnerabilidad de privilegios definidos con acciones no seguras en Apache Cassandra. Un usuario con permiso MODIFY ON ALL KEYSPACES puede escalar privilegios a superusuario dentro de un clúster de Cassandra de destino mediante acciones no seguras a un recurso del sistema. Los operadores que otorgan permiso MODIFY a los datos en todos los espacios de claves en las versiones afectadas deben revisar las reglas de acceso a los datos para detectar posibles infracciones. Este problema afecta a Apache Cassandra hasta las versiones 3.0.30, 3.11.17, 4.0.15, 4.1.7, 5.0.2. Se recomienda a los usuarios que actualicen a las versiones 3.0.31, 3.11.18, 4.0.16, 4.1.8, 5.0.3, que solucionan el problema.
