Red Hat has issued a critical security advisory updating container images for HawtIO 4.4.1 used in the Red Hat build of Apache Camel 4. These updated images include backported patches addressing security issues, bugs, and enhancements. Users are advised to upgrade to these updated container images and rebuild any dependent images. The advisory references two CVEs (CVE-2026-77968 and CVE-2026-78234) and is linked to Red Hat security advisories RHSA-2026:66120 and RHSA-2026:42952. No specific affected software versions are detailed in the advisory. No known exploits in the wild have been reported. The vendor provides updated container images via the Red Hat Container Registry and recommends updating Dockerfiles accordingly.

A flaw was found in hawtio-operator. The operator reads the OpenShift Service CA private signing key from the openshift-service-ca namespace and uses it to mint client certificates with a Subject Common Name (CN) supplied by the author of a namespaced Hawtio custom resource. Because the operator ships a ClusterRole that aggregates Hawtio CR permissions into the edit and admin roles, any user with edit access in any namespace can obtain a Service-CA-signed certificate with an arbitrary subject. This certificate can be used to impersonate any in-cluster service identity to peers that trust the Service CA for client authentication, including Jolokia agents and other Service-CA-trusting components.
