It’s always something when it comes to security. This time around the JFrog’s Security Research team has found a remote code execution (RCE) issue in Apache Cassandra, the popular open source NoSQL database. And, oh joy, of course with this RCE, you can stop Cassandra in its tracks. Since companies such as Netflix, Twitter, Reddit, and hundreds of others rely on Cassandra to be running every moment of the day, this is not good news.
