SCA: security update for org.apache.camel:camel-mongodb-gridfs (GHSA-f7g3-2cg6-f5hj)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 445370

Description

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

 - Improper Input Validation, Improper Access Control vulnerability in Apache Camel in Camel Mongodb Gridfs
 component. The camel-mongodb-gridfs producer selects the GridFS operation to perform from the
 gridfs.operation Exchange header when the endpoint's operation parameter is not set - which is the
 default. The control-header constants (GridFsConstants.GRIDFS_OPERATION, GRIDFS_OBJECT_ID,
 GRIDFS_METADATA, GRIDFS_CHUNKSIZE, GRIDFS_FILE_ID_PRODUCED) were the plain strings gridfs.operation,
 gridfs.objectid, gridfs.metadata, gridfs.chunksize and gridfs.fileid. Because these names do not start
 with the Camel / camel prefix, HttpHeaderFilterStrategy - which blocks only the Camel header namespace on
 the HTTP boundary - let them pass from an inbound HTTP request straight into the Exchange. In a route that
 bridges an HTTP consumer (for example platform-http) into a mongodb-gridfs: producer with no explicit
 operation, any HTTP client could therefore set the gridfs.operation header to override the route's
 intended operation - switching, for example, a file upload to remove (deleting a file identified by the
 attacker-supplied gridfs.objectid), listAll (enumerating every file in the bucket) or findOne (reading a
 file) - and supply a gridfs.metadata value that is parsed as a MongoDB document, enabling NoSQL operator
 injection. No credentials are required when the bridging consumer is unauthenticated. This issue affects
 Apache Camel: from 4.0.0 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 version 4.21.0, which fixes the issue. If users are on the 4.14.x LTS releases
 stream, then they are suggested to upgrade to 4.14.8. If users are on the 4.18.x releases stream, then
 they are suggested to upgrade to 4.18.3. After upgrading, routes that drive GridFS operations or metadata
 via the raw header names must use CamelGridFsOperation / CamelGridFsObjectId / CamelGridFsMetadata /
 CamelGridFsChunkSize / CamelGridFsFileId instead of the gridfs.* names. For deployments that cannot
 upgrade immediately, set an explicit operation on the mongodb-gridfs: endpoint so the operation is not
 taken from a header, and strip the gridfs.* headers from any untrusted ingress before the producer.
 (CVE-2026-48204)

Solution

Update the org.apache.camel:camel-mongodb-gridfs library and its related packages to version 4.14.8 or later.
