Privilege escalation from having CREATE access on a keyspace in Scylladb

Published Sep 27, 2023 · Updated Sep 23, 2024 · Assigned by GitHub_M

Description

Scylladb is a NoSQL data store using the seastar framework, compatible with Apache Cassandra. Authenticated users who are authorized to create tables in a keyspace can escalate their privileges to access a table in the same keyspace, even if they don't have permissions for that table. This issue has not yet been patched. A workaround to address this issue is to disable CREATE privileges on a keyspace, and create new tables on behalf of other users.
