Description
Authorization bypass through User-Controlled key vulnerability in Apache Camel K.



An authorization vulnerability in custom resource resolution allows a tenant to reference secrets by name in the operator namespace, potentially exposing secrets belonging to other tenants or operator components.



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 authorization bypass exists when a tenant's custom resource resolution allows the tenant to reference secrets by name in the operator namespace. The vulnerability is a user‑controlled key flaw (CWE‑639) that enables a tenant to read or reference secrets that belong to other tenants or operator components, potentially exposing sensitive information or credentials.

Affected Systems

The Apache Camel K product, maintained by the Apache Software Foundation, is affected. Versions starting from 2.0.0 up to but not including 2.9.3 and from 2.10.1 up to but not including 2.10.2 are vulnerable. Users on these versions should verify their installation is within the stated ranges.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is not listed, but the impact is high because unauthorized secrets are exposed to any tenant that crafts a custom resource. The EPSS score is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting no known mass exploitation yet. However, the attack vector is likely internal or among multiple tenant users, as any tenant with the ability to submit resources can trigger the flaw, making the risk significant in multi‑tenant deployments.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Apache Camel K to 2.9.3, 2.10.2 or 2.11.0 or later to apply the vendor fix.
  • Restrict the operator namespace so that only essential secrets are accessible and prevent tenant‑named secrets from being exposed outside their namespace.
  • Review and adjust custom resource definitions and the mavenProfiles trait to ensure they do not reference operator‑namespace secrets that are not intended for the tenant.
