CVE-2026-85248 Race Condition Vulnerability in Apache Camel PQC Component

Short explanation

A race condition vulnerability exists in the Apache Camel PQC component due to improper synchronization using shared resources. This flaw can cause signature verification to succeed for unverified messages.

Why does it matter?

This vulnerability defeats the verification guarantee provided by the component, potentially allowing invalid or unverified data to be processed.

What should be done?

  • Upgrade to Apache Camel 4.23.0 or applicable LTS releases
  • Restrict the affected route to a single concurrent consumer

Show the technical text from the sources

Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition') vulnerability in Apache Camel PQC component. This issue affects Apache Camel: from 4.12.0 before 4.18.5, from 4.19.0 before 4.22.1. The producer held a single java.security.Signature instance and used it for every exchange without synchronizing access. Signature is stateful and is not thread safe: update() accumulates the data to be signed or verified, and verify() consumes that accumulated state. With concurrent exchanges sharing one instance the update and verify calls of different messages interleave, so a verification can complete against data that belongs to another exchange, or against a partially accumulated buffer. The outcome is non-deterministic and includes a verification reporting success for a message whose signature was never actually checked, which defeats the guarantee the component exists to provide. Reaching it requires concurrent traffic through the same endpoint, which is the ordinary condition for a Camel route under load. Upgrade to Apache Camel 4.23.0, which fixes the issue. Users on the 4.18.x LTS releases stream should upgrade to 4.18.5. Users on the 4.22.x LTS releases stream should upgrade to 4.22.1. The Signature instance is no longer shared across concurrent exchanges. For deployments that cannot upgrade immediately, restrict the affected route to a single concurrent consumer so that no two exchanges use the instance at once.
