GHSA-2vxm-vp4c-fjfwHighCVSS 7.5
Authentication Bypass in Apache Cassandra
🔗 CVE IDs covered (1)
📋 Description
Apache Cassandra versions 2.1.0 to 2.1.22, 2.2.0 to 2.2.19, 3.0.0 to 3.0.23, and 3.11.0 to 3.11.9, when using 'dc' or 'rack' internode_encryption setting, allows both encrypted and unencrypted internode 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.
🎯 Affected products2
- maven/org.apache.cassandra:cassandra-all:>= 2.1.0, < 3.0.24
- maven/org.apache.cassandra:cassandra-all:>= 3.11.0, < 3.11.10
