Reducing severity as neither of these are actually used by Cassandra.
> Update Cassandra dependencies to fix security vulnerabilities
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-16528
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-16528
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Build, Dependencies
> Reporter: LHX
> Priority: Low
> Fix For: 3.0.x, 3.11.x, 4.0.x
>
>
> There are a couple of security vulnerabilities that show up in libraries that
> cassandra pulls in.
> # apache commons-collections v 3.2.1
> # apache commons-beanutils v 1.7.0
> For number one, there is a well-known security vulnerability in apache
> commons-collection 3.2.1 (see [https://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/576313] and
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COLLECTIONS-580). This is
> fixed/mitigated in commons-collections 3.2.2.
> All current versions of cassandra (including 4.0beta4) pull in
> commons-collections 3.2.1 via apache-rat 0.10. Is it possible to upgrade
> apache-rat to version 0.12 in order to pull in the latest version of
> commons-collections? See
> [https://github.com/apache/creadur-rat/commit/2380409fbcd02b418eceacfdc1e486bdbbca9632].
> I made the below change in 3.0.24 src and recompiled without errors.

> For number two, I was able to discern that beanutils is coming from

> Could someone take a look and see if these version upgrades are possible?
