Apache Camels camel-snakeyaml component is vulnerable to Java object de-serialization vulnerability. De-serializing untrusted data can lead to security flaws.

Weakness

The product deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently ensuring that the resulting data will be valid.

Affected Software

NameVendorStart VersionEnd Version
CamelApache*2.14.4 (including)
CamelApache2.17.0 (including)2.17.4 (including)
CamelApache2.18.0 (including)2.18.1 (including)
Red Hat JBoss A-MQ 6.3RedHat*
Red Hat JBoss Fuse 6.3RedHat*

Potential Mitigations

  • Make fields transient to protect them from deserialization.
  • An attempt to serialize and then deserialize a class containing transient fields will result in NULLs where the transient data should be. This is an excellent way to prevent time, environment-based, or sensitive variables from being carried over and used improperly.
