Description
Improper neutralization of directives in dynamically evaluated code ('eval injection') vulnerability in Apache Camel K.



An improper neutralization of directives in dynamically evaluated Maven configuration allows tenant-controlled repository content to influence code execution within the operator pod, potentially enabling tenants to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the operator.



This issue affects Apache Camel K: from 2.0.0 before 2.9.3, from 2.10.1 before 2.10.2.



Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.9.3, 2.10.2 or 2.11.0, which fixes the issue.

Impact

This vulnerability is an improper neutralization of directives in dynamically evaluated code (eval injection). Tenant‑controlled repository content can influence the execution of Maven configuration inside the Camel K operator pod, allowing tenants to run arbitrary code with the operator’s privileges. The weakness corresponds to CWE‑95 and can compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the underlying Kubernetes cluster.

Affected Systems

The bug affects Apache Camel K versions prior to 2.9.3 (including 2.0.0 up to 2.9.2) and prior to 2.10.2 (including 2.10.1). The upstream project recommends upgrading to 2.9.3, 2.10.2, or the newer 2.11.0 release to remove the flaw.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS rating is not published, and an EPSS score is unavailable, but the capability to execute arbitrary code as the operator makes this a high‑risk flaw. It has not yet been added to the CISA KEV list. Attackers with the ability to supply or influence tenant repository content can inject malicious Maven directives, leading to code execution inside the operator pod. Visibility of the attack vector is inferred from the description; no public proof‑of‑concepts are cited in the advisory.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Apache Camel K to a fixed release (2.9.3, 2.10.2, or 2.11.0).
  • Validate that no older Camel K versions are running in the cluster.
  • Restrict tenant repository access to trusted sources and sanitize dynamic Maven references if possible.
  • Run the Camel K operator with the least privileges, ensuring it does not have unnecessary cluster permissions.
