CVE-2015-0225

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The default configuration in Apache Cassandra versions 1.2.0 through 1.2.19, 2.0.0 through 2.0.13, and 2.1.0 through 2.1.3 binds an unauthenticated JMX/RMI interface to all network interfaces, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary Java code via an RMI request.

Risk Assessment

The organization is exposed to remote attacks that could lead to unauthorized code execution, potentially resulting in data loss or system takeover.

Recommendation

It is recommended to configure Apache Cassandra to bind the JMX/RMI interface only to trusted network interfaces or to secure it with appropriate authentication mechanisms.
