Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in Apache Camel SQL ComponentThis issue affects Apache Camel: from 3.0.0 before 3.21.4, from 3.22.0 before 3.22.1, from 4.0.0 before 4.0.4, from 4.1.0 before 4.4.0.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.4.0, which fixes the issue. If users are on the 4.0.x LTS releases stream, then they are suggested to upgrade to 4.0.4. If users are on 3.x, they are suggested to move to 3.21.4 or 3.22.1
Weakness
The product deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently ensuring that the resulting data will be valid.
Affected Software
| Name | Vendor | Start Version | End Version |
|---|---|---|---|
| Camel | Apache | 3.0.0 (including) | 3.21.4 (excluding) |
| Camel | Apache | 4.0.0 (including) | 4.0.4 (excluding) |
| Camel | Apache | 4.1.0 (including) | 4.4.0 (excluding) |
| Camel | Apache | 3.22.0 (including) | 3.22.0 (including) |
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.
