SCA: security update for org.apache.camel:camel-platform-http-main (GHSA-27vm-5vpj-rp5g)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 441268

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - When authentication is enabled on the Apache Camel embedded HTTP server or embedded management server
 (camel-platform-http-main) and a non-root context path such as /api or /admin is configured via
 camel.server.path or camel.management.path, the BasicAuthenticationConfigurer and
 JWTAuthenticationConfigurer classes derive the authentication path from properties.getPath() when
 camel.server.authenticationPath / camel.management.authenticationPath is not explicitly set. Combined with
 the Vert.x sub-router mounting model - the sub-router is mounted at _path_* and the authentication handler
 is registered inside the sub-router at the resolved path - this causes the authentication handler to match
 only the exact configured context path, not its subpaths. Unauthenticated requests to subpaths such as
 /api/_route_ or /admin/observe/info therefore reach protected business routes and management endpoints
 without being challenged for credentials. The /observe/info endpoint can disclose runtime metadata such as
 the user, working directory, home directory, process ID, JVM and operating system information. This issue
 affects Apache Camel: from 4.14.1 before 4.14.6, from 4.18.0 before 4.18.2. Users are recommended to
 upgrade to version 4.20.0, which fixes the issue. If users are on the 4.14.x LTS releases stream, they are
 suggested to upgrade to 4.14.6. If users are on the 4.18.x LTS releases stream, they are suggested to
 upgrade to 4.18.2. (CVE-2026-40022)

Solution

Update the org.apache.camel:camel-platform-http-main library and its related packages to version 4.14.6 or later.
