high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 415276

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Apache Accumulo versions 1.5.0 through 1.10.0 and version 2.0.0 do not properly check the return value of
 some policy enforcement functions before permitting an authenticated user to perform certain
 administrative operations. Specifically, the return values of the 'canFlush' and 'canPerformSystemActions'
 security functions are not checked in some instances, therefore allowing an authenticated user with
 insufficient permissions to perform the following actions: flushing a table, shutting down Accumulo or an
 individual tablet server, and setting or removing system-wide Accumulo configuration properties.
