CVE-2026-27172Network attack vector

Code execution via unfiltered Consul value deserialization

Published Apr 27, 2026 · Updated Apr 27, 2026

Unsafe deserialization in Apache Camel 3.0.0 through 4.14.5 and 4.15.0 through 4.18.0 allows attackers to execute code via Consul KV data. ConsulRegistryUtils.deserialize passes Base64-decoded store values to ObjectInputStream.readObject without an ObjectInputFilter or class allowlist. Exploitation requires write access to the registry's Consul KV store and a subsequent Camel registry lookup, after which code runs in the Camel process.
