Header injection via incomplete CVE-2025-27636 fix in Apache Camel (CVE-2026-40453)
The fix for CVE-2025-27636 applied case-insensitive header filtering only to HttpHeaderFilterStrategy, leaving five non-HTTP implementations (JmsHeaderFilterStrategy, ClassicJmsHeaderFilterStrategy, SjmsHeaderFilterStrategy, CoAPHeaderFilterStrategy, and GooglePubsubHeaderFilterStrategy) with case-sensitive filtering. An attacker with JMS or equivalent producer access to a broker consumed by a Camel route can inject case-variant Camel internal headers that bypass these filters and are resolved by downstream components using their canonical casing. This enables remote code execution and arbitrary file write on affected routes.
