Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Apache Cassandra (org.apache.cassandra:cassandra-all) versions 4.0 before 4.0.16, 4.1 before 4.1.8, and 5.0 before 5.0.3 are affected when using CassandraNetworkAuthorizer or CassandraCIDRAuthorizer. A user with restricted datacenter access can update their own permissions through DCL statements and gain access to datacenters or IP/CIDR groups they should not reach. Upgrade to 4.0.16, 4.1.8, or 5.0.3, and review existing data access rules for possible misuse.
