Description PRE-NVD

Disclosed via oss-security. NVD scoring and full description are pending.

AnalysisAI

Server-side request forgery and secret disclosure in the Apache Camel camel-iggy consumer (versions 4.17.0-4.18.2 and 4.19.0-4.20.x) allow an actor able to publish to a consumed Iggy stream to inject Camel control headers such as CamelHttpUri into the Exchange. When the consumer feeds a downstream HTTP producer, the attacker redirects the server-side request to internal services or cloud metadata endpoints, and because the producer resolves Camel property placeholders on the attacker-controlled URI, environment variables, application properties, and vault secrets are exfiltrated. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires two concrete deployment prerequisites: (1) a Camel route where the camel-iggy consumer feeds a downstream HTTP producer whose target URI is resolved from Exchange headers (i.e., CamelHttpUri / Exchange.HTTP_URI is honored), and (2) the attacker must be able to publish user-headers to the specific Iggy stream/topic that route consumes. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The NVD CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, score 7.5) reflects a network-exploitable, no-privilege, high-confidentiality issue, but this arguably understates the required conditions: exploitation depends on a specific vulnerable configuration - a Camel route that pipes the Iggy consumer directly into an HTTP producer whose target URI can be header-driven - plus the ability to publish to the consumed Iggy stream. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with the ability to publish to an Iggy stream that a vulnerable Camel route consumes crafts a message with a user-header named CamelHttpUri pointing at http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/ (or an internal service), optionally embedding a property placeholder such as a vault or environment-variable reference. When the message flows into the downstream HTTP producer, the server issues the request to the attacker-chosen destination and resolves the embedded placeholder, returning cloud metadata credentials or secrets. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: upgrade to Apache Camel 4.21.0, or for the 4.18.x maintenance stream upgrade to 4.18.3, both of which introduce a dedicated IggyHeaderFilterStrategy (and a headerFilterStrategy endpoint option) that case-insensitively filters the Camel header namespace on inbound mapping so externally-supplied Camel*/camel* headers are no longer copied into the Exchange (see https://camel.apache.org/security/CVE-2026-55994.html). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

24 hours: Conduct inventory of all production instances running Apache Camel versions 4.17.0-4.18.2 or 4.19.0-4.20.x with camel-iggy component; audit and restrict Iggy stream publisher access to authenticated, trusted sources only; review recent publisher activity logs for unauthorized access. …
