- →Monitor for LOCAL_JMX=no configuration setting in Cassandra environments, which causes JMX to bind on all interface IPs without authentication enforcement ↗
- →Alert on inbound RMI connections to Cassandra JMX ports from non-localhost sources, as exploitation involves remote execution of serialized Java objects via RMI ↗

CVE-2018-8016 cassandra: Unauthenticated JMX/RMI interface bound to all network interfaces (Regression of CVE-2015-0225)
It was found that Apache Cassandra bound an unauthenticated JMX/RMI interface to all network interfaces. A remote attacker able to access the RMI, an API for the transport and remote execution of serialized Java, could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code as the user running Cassandra.
This issue is a regression of the previously disclosed CVE-2015-0225.
