Summary
Apache Camel K has a vulnerability involving an externally controlled reference to a resource in another sphere and authorization bypass through a user-controlled key. Authorized users in a Kubernetes namespace can create a Build resource, controlling Pod generation in a namespace of their choice, including the operator namespace.
Risk Assessment
The risk includes privilege escalation and potential takeover of the operator namespace, which could compromise the entire Kubernetes cluster.
Recommendation
Upgrade Apache Camel K to version 2.10.1 (or 2.8.1 or 2.9.2), which contain the fix.
Other vulnerabilities in Apache Camel K
See all- CVE-2026-80352Critical
Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') vulnerability in Apache Camel K. A YAML injection vulnerability in custom resource configuration allows an authorized CR author to inject arbitrary Kubernetes objects, potentially enabling unauthorized resource creation with the privileges of the operator. This issue affects Apache Camel K: from 2.0.0 before 2.9.3, from 2.10.1 before 2.10.2.
- CVE-2026-80351Critical
Improper neutralization of directives in dynamically evaluated code ('eval injection') vulnerability in Apache Camel K. An improper neutralization of directives in dynamically evaluated Maven configuration allows tenant-controlled repository content to influence code execution within the operator pod, potentially enabling tenants to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the operator. This issue affects Apache Camel K: from 2.0.0 before 2.9.3, from 2.10.1 before 2.10.2.
- CVE-2026-80354High
Authorization bypass through User-Controlled key vulnerability in Apache Camel K. An authorization vulnerability in custom resource resolution allows a tenant to reference secrets by name in the operator namespace, potentially exposing secrets belonging to other tenants or operator components. This issue affects Apache Camel K: from 2.0.0 before 2.9.3, from 2.10.1 before 2.10.2.
