Описание
Privilege Defined With Unsafe Actions vulnerability in Apache Cassandra. An user with MODIFY permission ON ALL KEYSPACES can escalate privileges to superuser within a targeted Cassandra cluster via unsafe actions to a system resource. Operators granting data MODIFY permission on all keyspaces on affected versions should review data access rules for potential breaches.
This issue affects Apache Cassandra 3.0.30, 3.11.17, 4.0.16, 4.1.7, 5.0.2, but this advisory is only for 4.0.16 because the fix to CVE-2025-23015 was incorrectly applied to 4.0.16, so that version is still affected.
Users in the 4.0 series are recommended to upgrade to version 4.0.17 which fixes the issue. Users from 3.0, 3.11, 4.1 and 5.0 series should follow recommendation from CVE-2025-23015.
A Privilege Defined With Unsafe Actions vulnerability exists in Apache Cassandra. In affected versions, a user with MODIFY permission on all keyspaces can exploit unsafe operations against certain system resources to escalate privileges and gain superuser access within the Cassandra cluster. This escalation is possible because granting MODIFY at the global keyspace level inadvertently extends to sensitive resources, allowing abuse beyond the intended scope of data modification privileges.
Отчет
This vulnerability is rated Moderate because exploitation requires an attacker to already have MODIFY permission on all keyspaces. While it allows privilege escalation to superuser within the cluster, it cannot be exploited by unauthenticated users or those with lower privileges. Proper access controls and role management reduce the risk, limiting the impact to clusters where broad MODIFY permissions have been granted.
