Apache Camel 3.10.0 < 3.22.4 / 4.8.x < 4.8.5 / 4.10.x < 4.10.2 Message Header Injection (CVE-2025-27636)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 232840

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host contains an integration framework that is affected by a message header injection vulnerability.

Description

The version of Apache Camel on the remote host is 3.10.0 prior to 3.22.4, 4.8.x prior to 4.8.5, or 4.10.x prior to 4.10.2. It is, therefore, affected by a message header injection vulnerability:

 - Bypass/Injection vulnerability in Apache Camel components under particular conditions. This issue affects Apache Camel: from 4.10.0 through <= 4.10.1, from 4.8.0 through <= 4.8.4, from 3.10.0 through <= 3.22.3. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.10.2 for 4.10.x LTS, 4.8.5 for 4.8.x LTS and 3.22.4 for 3.x releases. This vulnerability is present in Camel's default incoming header filter, that allows an attacker to include Camel specific headers that for some Camel components can alter the behaviours such as the camel-bean component, to call another method on the bean, than was coded in the application. (CVE-2025-27636)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Apache Camel version 3.22.4, 4.8.5, or 4.10.2 or later.
