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.

AI Analysis

Impact

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. The flaw satisfies CWE‑95 and could compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability across the cluster.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects Apache Camel K versions 2.0.0 through 2.9.2, and version 2.10.1. Versions 2.9.3 and later, 2.10.2 and later, and 2.11.0 are unaffected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 9.8 and the EPSS score of < 1% indicates a very low exploitation probability. The flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Based on the description, the likely attack vector is that an attacker controlling a tenant’s repository can inject malicious Maven directives, which are then processed by the operator pod, leading to code execution. No public proof‑of‑impact is sufficient.

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 and sanitize any Maven directives before evaluation to mitigate CWE‑95; restrict tenant repositories to trusted sources and disable dynamic Maven references if immediate upgrade is not possible.
  • Run the Camel K operator with the least privileges necessary, limiting its cluster permissions and container capabilities to reduce impact should an exploit occur.
