The actual cryptographic verification of the bearer access token (signature, issuer and expiry for a local JWT, or active-state and issuer for token introspection) is performed exclusively inside those role and permission checks. KeycloakSecurityPolicy defaults requiredRoles and requiredPermissions to empty - which is the documented 'Basic Setup' - so on a route configured that way the role and permission checks are skipped and the access token is therefore never verified. The token-presence check still rejects a missing token, but an invalid token is accepted: any non-null value in the Authorization: Bearer header - including an arbitrary string or a forged, unsigned JWT - passes the policy and the request reaches the protected route, with no signature, issuer or expiry check and no request to Keycloak. The token is read from the inbound request header because allowTokenFromHeader defaults to true. Because the normal reason to place a route behind this policy is that the route performs server-side work, the bypass results in unauthenticated access to that work; where the protected route forwards to a code-execution-capable producer, it can result in unauthenticated remote code execution. This defect is independent of CVE-2026-23552: that issue concerned the issuer claim and was fixed by adding a check inside the verification routine, but here the verification routine is not reached at all in the default configuration, so the defect remains.\nThis issue affects Apache Camel: from 4.15.0 before 4.18.3, from 4.19.0 before 4.21.0.\n\nUsers are recommended to upgrade to version 4.21.0, which fixes the issue. If users are on the 4.18.x releases stream, then they are suggested to upgrade to 4.18.3. For deployments that cannot upgrade immediately, configure a non-empty requiredRoles or requiredPermissions on every KeycloakSecurityPolicy so that the token-verification path is exercised, set allowTokenFromHeader to false where the token is not expected from the request header, or perform token verification at the framework layer ahead of the policy."}, {"lang": "es", "value": "Vulnerabilidad por autenticaci\u00f3n incorrecta, falta de autenticaci\u00f3n para funciones cr\u00edticas y fallo de seguridad (Failing Open) en el componente Keycloak de Apache Camel. La pol\u00edtica KeycloakSecurityPolicy de camel-keycloak protege una ruta ejecutando KeycloakSecurityProcessor.beforeProcess(), que realiza tres comprobaciones en secuencia: rechaza una solicitud que no incluya un token de acceso; a continuaci\u00f3n, solo si requiredRoles no est\u00e1 vac\u00edo, valida los roles; y, solo si requiredPermissions no est\u00e1 vac\u00edo, valida los permisos. La verificaci\u00f3n criptogr\u00e1fica propiamente dicha del token de acceso de portador (firma, emisor y fecha de caducidad para un JWT local, o estado activo y emisor para la introspecci\u00f3n del token) se lleva a cabo exclusivamente dentro de esas comprobaciones de roles y permisos. KeycloakSecurityPolicy establece por defecto requiredRoles y requiredPermissions como vac\u00edos \u2014lo que constituye la configuraci\u00f3n b\u00e1sica documentada\u2014, por lo que, en una ruta configurada de ese modo, se omiten las comprobaciones de roles y permisos y, por lo tanto, el token de acceso nunca se verifica. La comprobaci\u00f3n de presencia del token sigue rechazando un token ausente, pero se acepta un token no v\u00e1lido: cualquier valor distinto de nulo en el encabezado Authorization: Bearer \u2014incluida una cadena arbitraria o un JWT falsificado y sin firmar\u2014 supera la pol\u00edtica y la solicitud llega a la ruta protegida, sin que se comprueben la firma, el emisor o la fecha de caducidad, y sin que se env\u00ede ninguna solicitud a Keycloak. El token se lee del encabezado de la solicitud entrante porque allowTokenFromHeader tiene por defecto el valor \u00abtrue\u00bb. Dado que la raz\u00f3n habitual para situar una ruta detr\u00e1s de esta pol\u00edtica es que dicha ruta realice tareas del lado del servidor, esta omisi\u00f3n da lugar a un acceso no autenticado a dichas tareas; cuando la ruta protegida reenv\u00eda a un productor capaz de ejecutar c\u00f3digo, puede dar lugar a la ejecuci\u00f3n remota de c\u00f3digo sin autenticaci\u00f3n. Este defecto es independiente de CVE-2026-23552: ese problema se refer\u00eda a la reclamaci\u00f3n del emisor y se solucion\u00f3 a\u00f1adiendo una comprobaci\u00f3n dentro de la rutina de verificaci\u00f3n, pero en este caso no se llega en absoluto a la rutina de verificaci\u00f3n en la configuraci\u00f3n por defecto, por lo que el defecto persiste. Este problema afecta a Apache Camel: desde la versi\u00f3n 4.15.0 hasta la 4.18.3, y desde la 4.19.0 hasta la 4.21.0. Se recomienda a los usuarios que actualicen a la versi\u00f3n 4.21.0, que corrige el problema. Si los usuarios utilizan la rama de versiones 4.18.x, se les sugiere que actualicen a la 4.18.3. En el caso de las implementaciones que no puedan actualizarse de inmediato, configure un requiredRoles o requiredPermissions no vac\u00edo en cada KeycloakSecurityPolicy para que se ejecute la ruta de verificaci\u00f3n del token, establezca allowTokenFromHeader en false cuando no se espere que el token provenga del encabezado de la solicitud, o realice la verificaci\u00f3n del token en la capa del marco de trabajo antes de la pol\u00edtica."}], "lastModified": "2026-07-09T03:03:58.543", "configurations": [{"nodes": [{"negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"criteria": "cpe:2.3:a:apache:camel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "0AEE4159-4465-4ACD-B94A-1E4682C85270", "versionEndExcluding": "4.18.3", "versionStartIncluding": "4.15.0"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:a:apache:camel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "1C2A1A7A-FADC-470F-8265-FA126AFD94ED", "versionEndExcluding": "4.21.0", "versionStartIncluding": "4.19.0"}], "operator": "OR"}]}], "sourceIdentifier": "security@apache.org"}
