Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:
- Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in Apache Camel. The default ObjectInputFilter pattern
shipped with several Apache Camel components for defense-in-depth deserialization filtering
('java.**;javax.**;org.apache.camel.**;!*', or the no-'javax.**' variant in the aggregation-repository
components) uses a recursive 'java.**' glob that admits classes whose hashCode/equals/readObject methods
perform network I/O, notably java.net.URL and java.net.InetAddress. When an attacker can deliver a Java-
serialized payload to an affected Camel consumer, deserialization of a HashMap (or any collection that
calls hashCode on its elements) containing java.net.URL keys causes the JVM to issue DNS queries to the
attacker-supplied host during the deserialization side-effect. The class-level filter check passes because
the resulting object's class (HashMap) is allow-listed; the DNS query is observable on an attacker-
controlled DNS server, providing an out-of-band side channel. The exposure is highest on the camel-jms
family because JmsBinding.extractBodyFromJms invokes ObjectMessage.getObject() unconditionally when
mapJmsMessage=true (default). Affected components: camel-jms, camel-sjms, camel-amqp, camel-mina, camel-
netty, camel-netty-http, camel-vertx-http, camel-infinispan, and the aggregation repository components
camel-leveldb, camel-cassandraql, camel-consul, camel-sql (JDBC aggregation repository). This issue
affects Apache Camel: from 4.14.0 before 4.14.8, from 4.15.0 before 4.18.3, from 4.19.0 before 4.21.0.
Users are recommended to upgrade to a version that contains the CAMEL-23372 fix once available: 4.21.0 for
the 4.21.x line, 4.18.3 for the 4.18.x line, and 4.14.8 for the 4.14.x line. For deployments that cannot
upgrade immediately, configure a JMS-provider-side allow-list (Apache ActiveMQ Artemis
'deserializationAllowList' / 'deserializationDenyList', Apache ActiveMQ Classic
'org.apache.activemq.SERIALIZABLE_PACKAGES') as the primary mitigation, and/or override the in-code
default via the endpoint-level 'deserializationFilter' option or the JVM-wide '-Djdk.serialFilter' system
property with an explicit deny: '!java.net.**;java.**;javax.**;org.apache.camel.**;!*' (or
'!java.net.**;java.**;org.apache.camel.**;!*' for the aggregation-repository components, which do not
include javax.**). (CVE-2026-42527)
Solution
Update the apache-camel-karavan-devmode library and its related packages to version 4.18.1-r10 or later.
