{"id":"BIT-scylladb-2023-33972","summary":"Privilege escalation from having CREATE access on a keyspace in Scylladb","details":"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.","aliases":["CVE-2023-33972","GHSA-ww5v-p45p-3vhq"],"modified":"2026-09-08T08:47:47.936856787Z","published":"2024-05-14T14:38:04.732Z","database_specific":{"cpes":["cpe:2.3:a:scylladb:scylladb:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*"],"severity":"High"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/security/advisories/GHSA-ww5v-p45p-3vhq"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-33972"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"scylladb","ecosystem":"Bitnami","purl":"pkg:bitnami/scylladb"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"5.2.9"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/bitnami/vulndb/tree/main/data/scylladb/BIT-scylladb-2023-33972.json"},"severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
