Message redirection via unfiltered WebSocket dispatch headers
Published Aug 24, 2026 · Updated Aug 24, 2026
Header injection in Apache Camel 4.0.0 before 4.14.9, 4.15.0 before 4.18.4, and 4.19.0 before 4.22.0 allows remote attackers to redirect messages. The Atmosphere WebSocket producer trusts unfiltered websocket.connectionKey.list Exchange headers from bridged HTTP consumers and evaluates that list before the route-selected recipient. A route must bridge untrusted HTTP input to the header-driven producer; a crafted inbound header can replace or suppress delivery when the sender knows a target connection key.
