I honestly don't know the full set of valid JVM configs, and an allowlist would mean enumerating every legitimate Cassandra JVM option (all the -Xms/-Xmx/-Xss/-XX GC and heap tuning flags plus the whole -Dcassandra.* / -Dcom.sun.management.* / -Djava.* system-property surface), which would make the list massive and hard to keep current. This isn't a security issue in practice: the patch endpoint requires admin credentials, so we're just removing the obviously insecure options and can add more as we find them. If you feel strongly about an allowlist, I'm happy to switch to one. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
