The vulnerability stems from insecure JMX/RMI configuration in Java 11 environments. The CassandraDaemon.setupJMX function is central to JMX initialization, and improper security settings here (or in startup scripts like cassandra-env.sh) would allow MITM attacks on the RMI registry. The CVE-2020-13946 precedent shows similar JMX misconfigurations, and the JDK10+ changes to RMI registry handling (e.g., removal of 'com.sun.management.jmxremote.rmi.port' fallback) likely exacerbated the issue. Patches in newer versions (4.0.15+, 4.1.8+, 5.0.3+) likely enforce SSL and authentication parameters in these components.
