SSRF and secret disclosure via control-header injection
Published Jul 6, 2026 · Updated Jul 6, 2026
SSRF in affected Apache Camel Vert.x WebSocket releases allows remote attackers to redirect downstream HTTP requests. VertxWebsocketConsumer.populateExchangeHeaders copies untrusted query and path parameters into Exchange headers without filtering the Camel namespace, so an injected CamelHttpUri controls a downstream HTTP producer URI. Exploitation requires a reachable WebSocket consumer bridged to an HTTP producer; placeholder resolution in the injected URI can disclose environment, application, or vault secrets.
