NewCVE-2026-85248 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade org.apache.camel:camel-pqc to version 4.18.5, 4.22.1 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Race Condition via the PQCProducer class in the camel-pqc component. An attacker can cause verification to report success for a message whose signature was not actually checked against that message by sending concurrent exchanges through the same PQC endpoint, causing operations on the shared, stateful Signature instance to interleave. This defeats the route’s signature-based integrity protection.
Workarounds
- Restrict the affected route to a single concurrent consumer so exchanges cannot concurrently use the shared
Signatureinstance.
