CVE-2026-85312

MediumCVSS 4.8
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

An improper input validation vulnerability exists in the Apache Camel Core component. The saga processor consulted a header named Long-Running-Action without a Camel prefix, so an external sender could supply it on an inbound message and name the saga the exchange joined, attaching their request to a long-running action started by someone else.

Risk Assessment

An external sender can join another party's long-running action or associate compensation with an action they did not initiate, potentially disrupting transaction consistency.

Recommendation

Upgrade Apache Camel to 4.23.0, 4.18.5 or 4.22.1; if immediate upgrade is not possible, strip the header at the trust boundary with removeHeaders("Long-Running-Action").

Original NVD description (English source)

Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Apache Camel Core component. This issue affects Apache Camel: from 4.0.0 before 4.18.5, from 4.19.0 before 4.22.1. The saga processor consulted a header named Long-Running-Action to decide which saga an exchange belonged to. The name carries no Camel prefix, so it sits outside the namespace that consumer header filters block, and an external sender could supply it on an inbound message. That let the sender name the saga the exchange joined, attaching their request to a long-running action started by someone else, or causing compensation to be associated with an action they did not initiate. The header is only consulted by a saga service that uses it, which bounds the exposure to deployments running sagas over an LRA coordinator. 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. The header is now consulted only for a saga service that actually uses it, rather than on every exchange. For deployments that cannot upgrade immediately, strip the header at the trust boundary with removeHeaders("Long-Running-Action") on every consumer that accepts messages from an untrusted sender.
