SCA: security update for org.apache.camel:camel-cxf-rest (GHSA-8364-hfqj-pwm6)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 442650

Description

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

 - Camel-CXF and Camel-Knative Message Header Injection via Missing Inbound Filtering The CXF and Knative
 HeaderFilterStrategy implementations (CxfRsHeaderFilterStrategy in camel-cxf-rest, CxfHeaderFilterStrategy
 in camel-cxf-transport, and KnativeHttpHeaderFilterStrategy in camel-knative-http) only filter outbound
 Camel-internal headers via setOutFilterStartsWith, while not configuring inbound filtering via
 setInFilterStartsWith. As a result, an unauthenticated attacker can inject Camel-internal headers (e.g.
 CamelExecCommandExecutable, CamelFileName) via HTTP requests to CXF-RS or CXF-SOAP endpoints. When a route
 forwards messages from these endpoints to header-driven components such as camel-exec or camel-file, the
 injected headers override configured values, enabling remote code execution or arbitrary file writes. This
 is the same pattern that was previously addressed in camel-undertow (CVE-2025-30177), the broader
 incoming-header filter (CVE-2025-27636 and CVE-2025-29891), and non-HTTP strategies (CVE-2026-40453). This
 issue affects Apache Camel: from 3.18.0 before 4.14.6, from 4.15.0 before 4.18.2. 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 4.18.2. If users are on the 4.14.x LTS releases stream, then they are
 suggested to upgrade to 4.14.6. (CVE-2026-47323)

Solution

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