AnalysisAI
Stack trace disclosure in Apache Camel's camel-netty-http component (versions 4.0.0-4.21.0 across three release streams) exposes full Java Throwable stack traces to unauthenticated HTTP clients whenever a route processing error occurs under the default configuration. The root cause is an insecure default: the muteException option backed by an uninitialized Java primitive boolean defaulted to false in camel-netty-http while all other Camel HTTP server components (camel-http, camel-jetty, camel-servlet, camel-platform-http) correctly default it to true. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but the low-effort triggering condition - any malformed request that causes a route exception - makes opportunistic enumeration straightforward against exposed endpoints.
Technical ContextAI
Apache Camel is an open-source Java integration framework implementing Enterprise Integration Patterns; the camel-netty-http component provides an HTTP server consumer built on the Netty async networking library. The affected artifact is org.apache.camel:camel-netty-http. The root cause is classified as CWE-209 (Generation of Error Message Containing Sensitive Information): the muteException field in the Netty HTTP consumer was an uninitialized Java primitive boolean, which the JVM initializes to false by default. The DefaultNettyHttpBinding class serializes the full java.lang.Throwable stack trace into the HTTP response body as text/plain when muteException is false. This contrasts with other Camel HTTP consumers that explicitly initialize the same field to true. No CPE string was provided by NVD at time of analysis; the affected artifact can be identified via Maven coordinates org.apache.camel:camel-netty-http within the three affected version ranges. The fix (GitHub PR #23913, commit 6cea553) aligns the default to true at both component and endpoint levels, with backports to the 4.18.x and 4.14.x LTS streams.
RemediationAI
The primary fix is to upgrade to Apache Camel 4.14.8 (for users on the 4.14.x LTS stream), 4.18.3 (for users on the 4.18.x stream), or 4.21.0 (current), all of which flip the muteException default to true at both component and endpoint levels. Upgrade guidance and release notes are available at https://camel.apache.org/security/CVE-2026-49365.html. For deployments that cannot immediately upgrade, the vendor-recommended workaround is to explicitly set muteException=true on the camel-netty-http consumer: either via the endpoint URI parameter (e.g., netty-http:http://0.0.0.0:8080/api?muteException=true) or globally via the application property camel.component.netty-http.configuration.mute-exception=true. Note that enabling muteException takes precedence over the transferException option - routes that previously relied on transferException=true to pass exception objects back to callers over camel-netty-http will receive empty response bodies instead and must now explicitly set muteException=false if that behavior is required (documented as a potential breaking change in the 4.21 upgrade guide). As an additional compensating control, restrict network access to camel-netty-http endpoints to trusted internal networks or authenticated proxies, which reduces the exposure window even if muteException remains false.
