AI-suggested
Upgrade affected Apache Camel camel-coap component versions to 4.14.6, 4.18.1, or later (including 4.19.0) where the vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigations are specified or recommended by the vendor advisory. Applying the official fix fully resolves the issue.
Description
Apache Camel's camel-coap component versions 4.14.0 through 4.14.5 and 4.18.0 before 4.18.1 are vulnerable to header injection. This occurs because CoAP request URI query parameters are mapped directly into Camel message headers without filtering. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this to inject arbitrary internal headers, potentially leading to remote code execution when the exchange is forwarded to a header-sensitive downstream producer such as camel-exec. The vulnerability is fixed in versions 4.14.6, 4.18.1, and 4.19.0.
