Apache · Apache Cassandra · CVE-2023-30601
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Apache Cassandra versions 4.0.0 through 4.0.9
Apache Cassandra versions 4.1.0 through 4.1.1
**Description**
The issue is related to privilege escalation when enabling FQL/Audit logs, allowing a user with JMX access to run arbitrary commands as the user running Apache Cassandra. To exploit this issue, nodetool/JMX access is required.
**Recommendations**
For Apache Cassandra versions 4.0.0 through 4.0.9, upgrade to 4.0.10 and leave the new FQL/Auditlog configuration property `allow nodetool archive command` as false.
For Apache Cassandra versions 4.1.0 through 4.1.1, upgrade to 4.1.2 and leave the new FQL/Auditlog configuration property `allow nodetool archive command` as false.
As a temporary workaround, consider disabling access for any non-trusted users to prevent exploitation.
