When a custom administrator account is configured via the CASSANDRA_USER environment variable, the container initialization script creates the new superuser account but fails to drop the built-in cassandra account in certain scenarios. This leaves the default cassandra:cassandra superuser active as an unintended access path.\n\nAffected versions — Container image: 4.0.x prior to 4.0.20-photon-5-r7; 4.1.x prior to 4.1.11-photon-5-r7; 5.0.x prior to 5.0.8-photon-5-r4 / 5.0.8-debian-12-r3.","published":"2026-06-18T20:16:14.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-26T11:10:00.000Z","status":"Awaiting Analysis","sourceIdentifier":"security@vmware.com","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":9.8,"severity":"CRITICAL","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-798"],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00483,"percentile":0.41406,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.48%).
