CVE-2026-85301

MediumCVSS 4.8
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

An improper authentication vulnerability exists in the Apache Camel Keycloak component. The security processor validated the token issuer only when the introspection response contained an iss claim; when absent, the check was skipped rather than treated as a failure, potentially allowing tokens from an unintended issuer to be accepted.

Risk Assessment

A deployment may authenticate a caller it should have rejected if the introspection endpoint omits iss and accepts tokens from multiple issuers. The default Keycloak arrangement is not affected, so severity is low, but non-default setups could lead to unauthorized access.

Recommendation

Upgrade Apache Camel to 4.23.0, or to 4.18.5 for 4.18.x LTS or 4.22.1 for 4.22.x LTS. If immediate upgrade is not possible, ensure the introspection endpoint returns the iss claim and serves exactly one issuer.

Original NVD description (English source)

Improper Authentication vulnerability in Apache Camel Keycloak component. This issue affects Apache Camel: from 4.15.0 before 4.18.5, from 4.19.0 before 4.22.1. The security processor validated the issuer of an introspected token only when the introspection response actually carried an iss claim. When the claim was absent the check was skipped rather than treated as a failure, so a token that the configured issuer did not mint could be accepted provided the introspection endpoint answered without naming an issuer. Reaching this requires an introspection endpoint that omits iss and accepts tokens from more than one issuer, which is not the default Keycloak arrangement, hence the low severity; where that arrangement exists the consequence is that the deployment authenticates a caller it should have rejected. Upgrade to Apache Camel 4.23.0, which fixes the issue. Users on the 4.18.x LTS releases stream should upgrade to 4.18.5. Users on the 4.22.x LTS releases stream should upgrade to 4.22.1. An absent iss claim is now treated as a validation failure rather than as a reason to skip the check. For deployments that cannot upgrade immediately, ensure the introspection endpoint returns the iss claim, and that it serves exactly one issuer.
