medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 420822

Description

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

 - In Apache Cassandra it is possible for a local attacker without access to the Apache Cassandra process or
 configuration files to manipulate the RMI registry to perform a man-in-the-middle attack and capture user
 names and passwords used to access the JMX interface. The attacker can then use these credentials to
 access the JMX interface and perform unauthorized operations. This is same vulnerability that
 CVE-2020-13946 was issued for, but the Java option was changed in JDK10. This issue affects Apache
 Cassandra from 4.0.2 through 5.0.2 running Java 11. Operators are recommended to upgrade to a release
 equal to or later than 4.0.15, 4.1.8, or 5.0.3 which fixes the issue. (CVE-2024-27137)
