[org.apache.cassandra:apache-cassandra] Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command in Apache Cassandra

The default configuration in Apache Cassandra 1.2.0 through 1.2.19, 2.0.0 through 2.0.13, and 2.1.0 through 2.1.3 binds an unauthenticated JMX/RMI interface to all network interfaces, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Java code via an RMI request.
