I already have, as a normal user, authentication to see things in the database. What's the harm in seeing who the superusers are? > Non-superuser users should not be able to list users > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-7513 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7513 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Core > Reporter: Mike Adamson > Fix For: 2.0.10 > > > ListUserStatement allows any logged in user to list all the users in the system. This is a security flaw as it allows non-superusers to get a list of superusers. > There is no reason to allow non-superusers to get a list users because all the authentication functionality that manipulates users is only available to superusers. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
