NewCVE-2026-85249 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade org.apache.camel:camel-tika to version 4.18.5, 4.22.1 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Neutralization via convertMetadataToHeaders in the Camel Tika producer. An attacker can manipulate downstream route behavior, including where a later file producer writes content, by supplying a document with metadata such as CamelFileName set to an attacker-chosen path.
Workarounds
- In routes using the Tika producer, add
removeHeaders("Camel*")immediately after it and before any component that acts on those headers, preventing document metadata from controlling downstream behavior through Camel headers.
