CVE-2026-48203 Details
Description
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component ('Injection'), Improper Input Validation, Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in Apache Camel Solr component. The camel-solr producer copies Exchange message headers whose names begin with the SolrParam. prefix into the parameters of the Solr request, and headers whose names begin with the SolrField. prefix into the fields of the indexed Solr document. The prefix constants (SolrConstants.HEADER_PARAM_PREFIX / HEADER_FIELD_PREFIX) were the plain strings SolrParam. / SolrField.. Because these names do not start with the Camel / camel prefix, HttpHeaderFilterStrategy - which blocks only the Camel header namespace on the HTTP boundary - let them pass from an inbound HTTP request straight into the Exchange. In a route that bridges an HTTP consumer (for example platform-http) into a solr: producer, any HTTP client could therefore set SolrParam.* headers to inject arbitrary Solr request parameters - including shards or stream.url, which cause the Solr server to issue server-side requests to an attacker-chosen URL (server-side request forgery, for example to an internal service or a cloud metadata endpoint), or qt to reach administrative request handlers - and set SolrField.* headers to inject arbitrary fields into indexed documents. No credentials are required when the bridging consumer is unauthenticated. This issue affects Apache Camel: from 4.0.0 before 4.14.8, from 4.15.0 before 4.18.3, from 4.19.0 before 4.21.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.21.0, which fixes the issue. If users are on the 4.14.x LTS releases stream, then they are suggested to upgrade to 4.14.8. If users are on the 4.18.x releases stream, then they are suggested to upgrade to 4.18.3. After upgrading, routes that set Solr parameters or fields via the raw header prefixes must use CamelSolrParam. / CamelSolrField. instead of SolrParam. / SolrField.. For deployments that cannot upgrade immediately, strip the SolrParam.* and SolrField.* headers from any untrusted ingress before the solr: producer, and set the required Solr parameters and fields from a trusted source in the route.
A server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability has been identified in the Apache Camel Solr component, affecting versions 4.0.0 prior to 4.14.8, 4.15.0 prior to 4.18.3, and 4.19.0 prior to 4.21.0. The vulnerability arises from improper handling of Exchange message headers that begin with the SolrParam. and SolrField. prefixes. These headers can be injected into Solr requests and indexed documents, respectively. The issue is exacerbated by the fact that no authentication is required when the HTTP consumer is unauthenticated, allowing arbitrary server-side requests to be made to attacker-chosen URLs, potentially targeting internal services or cloud metadata endpoints.
Users are advised to upgrade to Apache Camel versions 4.21.0, 4.14.8, or 4.18.3, depending on their current version stream. After upgrading, routes that use Solr parameters or fields via the raw header prefixes should be updated to use CamelSolrParam. or CamelSolrField. instead. For deployments that cannot upgrade immediately, it is recommended to remove SolrParam.* and SolrField.* headers from any untrusted ingress before reaching the Solr producer, and to set the necessary Solr parameters and fields from a trusted source within the route.
