Description

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

- JmsBinding.extractBodyFromJms() in camel-jms, and the equivalent JmsBinding class in camel-sjms,
deserialized the payload of incoming JMS ObjectMessage values via javax.jms.ObjectMessage.getObject()
without applying any ObjectInputFilter, class allowlist or class denylist. Because this code path is
reached whenever the mapJmsMessage option is enabled (the default) and Camel acts as a JMS consumer, an
attacker able to publish a crafted ObjectMessage to a queue or topic consumed by a Camel application could
achieve remote code execution when a deserialization gadget chain was present on the classpath. The same
handling was reached transitively through camel-sjms2 (whose Sjms2Endpoint extends SjmsEndpoint) and
through camel-amqp (whose AMQPJmsBinding extends JmsBinding), and by other JMS-family components built on
JmsComponent such as camel-activemq and camel-activemq6. This issue affects Apache Camel: from 3.0.0
before 4.14.7, from 4.15.0 before 4.18.2, from 4.19.0 before 4.20.0. 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, then they are
suggested to upgrade to 4.14.7. If users are on the 4.18.x releases stream, then they are suggested to
upgrade to 4.18.2. (CVE-2026-40860)

Solution

Update the org.apache.camel:camel-activemq library and its related packages to version 4.14.7 or later.
