SCA: security update for org.apache.camel:camel-mail (GHSA-2vqf-x7g4-7c2g)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 441262

Description

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

 - The Camel-Mail component is vulnerable to Camel message header injection. The custom header filter
 strategy used by the component (MailHeaderFilterStrategy) only filters the 'out' direction via
 setOutFilterStartsWith, while it does not configure the 'in' direction via setInFilterStartsWith. As a
 result, when a Camel application consumes mail through camel-mail (for example via from(\"imap://...\") or
 from(\"pop3://...\")) the inbound filter check is skipped and Camel-prefixed MIME headers are mapped
 unfiltered into the Exchange. An attacker who can deliver an email to a mailbox monitored by such a
 consumer can inject Camel-specific headers that, for some Camel components downstream of the mail consumer
 (such as camel-bean, camel-exec, or camel-sql), can alter the behaviour of the route. This is the same
 pattern that was previously addressed in camel-undertow (CVE-2025-30177) and the broader incoming-header
 filter (CVE-2025-27636 and CVE-2025-29891). This issue affects Apache Camel: from 3.0.0 before 4.14.6,
 from 4.15.0 before 4.18.1. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.19.0, which fixes the issue. If
 users are on the 4.18.x LTS releases stream, then they are suggested to upgrade to 4.18.1. If users are on
 the 4.14.x LTS releases stream, then they are suggested to upgrade to 4.14.6. (CVE-2026-33454)

Solution

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