Summary
A vulnerability in the Apache Camel Platform HTTP Vertx component involves improper CORS handling: the Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true header is sent regardless of the origin check result, and when camel.server.cors.origins is unset the handler reflects any origin in Access-Control-Allow-Origin. As a result, any page can make credentialed cross-origin requests to the Camel endpoint and read the responses.
Risk Assessment
This may allow an attacker from any website to read data from Camel endpoints in the context of a logged-in user, leading to information disclosure or actions performed on the victim's behalf.
Recommendation
Upgrade Apache Camel to 4.23.0 (or 4.18.5 / 4.22.1 for the LTS streams). If an immediate upgrade is not possible, explicitly set camel.server.cors.origins to the list of allowed origins instead of leaving it unset.
Other vulnerabilities in Apache Camel
See all- CVE-2015-5348High
Apache Camel versions 2.6.x through 2.14.x, 2.15.x before 2.15.5, and 2.16.x before 2.16.1, when using camel-jetty or camel-servlet as consumers in Camel routes, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a crafted serialized Java object in an HTTP request.
- CVE-2014-0002High
The XSLT component in Apache Camel before 2.11.4 and 2.12.x before 2.12.3 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files and possibly have other unspecified impact via an XML document containing an external entity declaration in conjunction with an entity reference, related to an XML External Entity (XXE) issue.
- CVE-2026-78162Critical
A deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability in Apache Camel affects the camel-hazelcast component. Two configuration paths (ReplicatedHazelcastAggregationRepository and client mode in HazelcastDefaultComponent) fail to apply the JavaSerializationFilterConfig, allowing an attacker to achieve remote code execution by injecting a malicious Java object into the Hazelcast cluster.
- CVE-2026-71300Critical
Vulnerability in Apache Camel Atmosphere Websocket component due to improper input validation of Exchange headers outside the Camel namespace (websocket.connectionKey, websocket.connectionKey.list, websocket.sendToAll, websocket.eventType, websocket.errorType). An external attacker can supply the list header via HTTP and take over the producer's dispatch decision, potentially suppressing or redirecting notifications to a different client.
- CVE-2026-66906Critical
Relative path traversal vulnerability in Apache Camel Azure Storage Blob component allows writing files outside the configured directory during downloadBlobToFile operation. Blob names with parent-directory segments are not normalized, enabling overwriting arbitrary files with Camel process privileges.
- CVE-2026-56140Critical
The Apache Camel AWS SNS component lacks an inbound filter rule in the Sns2HeaderFilterStrategy. However, the vulnerability is not exploitable because the component is producer-only (does not support consumers), so an attacker cannot supply external message attributes to the Camel Exchange. A defense-in-depth filter was added for consistency with other strategies.
- CVE-2026-53913Critical
A vulnerability in the camel-keycloak component of Apache Camel allows bypassing access token verification in the default configuration. When required roles or permissions are empty, the token is not cryptographically verified, allowing access to protected routes with any Authorization header.
- CVE-2026-48205Critical
A vulnerability in the Apache Camel DNS component allows SSRF attacks via improper input validation of message headers. An attacker can set dns.server, dns.name, and dns.domain headers in an HTTP request, redirecting DNS queries to a controlled server and disclosing internal hostnames.
- CVE-2026-48204Critical
Vulnerability in Apache Camel's mongodb-gridfs component allows an attacker to manipulate GridFS operations via HTTP headers. Improper input validation and access control enable unauthorized file deletion, reading, enumeration, and NoSQL operator injection.
- CVE-2026-48203Critical
Vulnerability in Apache Camel Solr component allows SSRF and injection of Solr parameters and fields. Exchange headers with SolrParam. and SolrField. prefixes are passed unfiltered from HTTP requests to the Solr producer, enabling attackers to manipulate queries and indexed documents.
Original NVD description (English source)
Permissive Cross-domain Policy with Untrusted Domains vulnerability in Apache Camel Platform HTTP Vertx component. This issue affects Apache Camel: from 4.0.0 before 4.18.5, from 4.19.0 before 4.22.1. createCorsHandler() set Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true outside the origin check, so the header went out on every response to a request carrying an Origin header, including responses to origins the handler had just decided not to allow. When camel.server.cors.origins is unset, the handler treats every origin as allowed and echoes the caller's own Origin back as Access-Control-Allow-Origin. Together those produce the credentialed any-origin configuration that the fetch specification refuses to express as a literal wildcard, which is precisely why reflecting the origin is the usual way around that rule. A page on any origin could therefore make credentialed cross-origin requests to the Camel endpoint and read the responses. Upgrade to Apache Camel 4.23.0, which fixes the issue. Users on the 4.18.x LTS releases stream should upgrade to 4.18.5. Users on the 4.22.x LTS releases stream should upgrade to 4.22.1. Access-Control-Allow-Credentials is now sent only when the request origin matched an origin the operator actually configured. With no origin list the origin is still reflected, as before, but credentials are not granted, and Vary: Origin is now set whenever the origin is reflected so that a shared cache cannot serve one origin's response to another. For deployments that cannot upgrade immediately, set camel.server.cors.origins to the explicit list of origins that need access rather than leaving it unset.
