Ensure that the default password is changed for the cassandra role

KritisLevel 1Otomatiscassandra

Deskripsi

The cassandra role has a default password which must be changed. Attempts a cqlsh login as cassandra/cassandra against CQLSH_HOST/CQLSH_PORT (default 127.0.0.1:9042); passes only when the server rejects the credentials (a login that succeeds, including with authentication disabled, fails; an unreachable node fails).

Cara pemeriksaan

Metode audit: Perintah shell

shell

command -v cqlsh >/dev/null 2>&1 || exit 1; out=$(cqlsh -u cassandra -p cassandra -e 'SELECT release_version FROM system.local;' 2>&1); rc=$?; if [ $rc -eq 0 ]; then echo default_password_accepted; elif printf '%s' "$out" | grep -qiE 'AuthenticationFailed|Bad credentials|incorrect'; then echo compliant; else exit 1; fi

Output yang diharapkan: compliant

Cara perbaikan
