High [CVE-2026-66908] Improper Authentication vulnerability in Apache Camel Platform HTTP Main component
CVE-2026-66908Source published Source updated
Improper Authentication vulnerability in Apache Camel Platform HTTP Main component. This issue affects Apache Camel: from 4.8.0 before 4.22.0. The camel-main embedded HTTP server can protect its endpoints with JWT authentication, configured through authenticationEnabled together with the JWT keystore properties. JWTAuthenticationConfigurer.buildJwtOptions returned null when neither jwtIssuer nor jwtAudience was configured, and the caller then skipped the JWTAuthOptions.setJWTOptions call entirely, so the Vert.x JWTAuth instance was built from the keystore alone. The result was that inbound tokens were checked only for signature and expiry: the iss and aud claims were not validated at all. Nothing signalled this - the server started normally and reported no warning - so a deployment…
- Affected products in this advisory
- Apache Camel Platform
- Source-reported affected versions
- 4.8.0 before 4.22.0
- Source-reported fixed versions
- 4.22.0
- 4.21.0
- Mitigation guidance
- Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.22.0, which fixes the issue.
- Users on 4.14.x or 4.18.x should therefore upgrade to 4.14.9 or 4.18.4 and then set jwtIssuer, jwtAudience, or both.
- Workarounds
- Independently of version, restrict the JWT keystore to the smallest possible trust set - ideally a signer dedicated to this service rather than a shared identity-provider key - and where a gateway already validates issuer and audience in front of the server, ensure it cannot be bypassed.
