SCA: security update for org.apache.cassandra:cassandra-all (GHSA-5c4f-pxmx-xcm4)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 435079

Description

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

 - 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. (CVE-2025-26467)
