SCA: security update for org.apache.cassandra:cassandra-all (GHSA-fh34-c629-p8xj)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 440094

Description

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

 - Sensitive Information Leak in cqlsh in Apache Cassandra 4.0 allows access to sensitive information, like
 passwords, from previously executed cqlsh command via ~/.cassandra/cqlsh_history local file access. Users
 are recommended to upgrade to version 4.0.20, which fixes this issue. -- Description: Cassandra's command-
 line tool, cqlsh, provides a command history feature that allows users to recall previously executed
 commands using the up/down arrow keys. These history records are saved in the ~/.cassandra/cqlsh_history
 file in the user's home directory. However, cqlsh does not redact sensitive information when saving
 command history. This means that if a user executes operations involving passwords (such as logging in or
 creating users) within cqlsh, these passwords are permanently stored in cleartext in the history file on
 the disk. (CVE-2026-27315)

Solution

Update the org.apache.cassandra:cassandra-all library and its related packages to version 4.0.20 or later.
