CVE-2024-2700 Quarkus-core: leak of local configuration properties into quarkus applications

What is CVE-2024-2700?

CVE-2024-2700 is a high-severity vulnerability in HawtIO 4.0.0 for Red Hat build of Apache Camel 4, published on 4 Apr 2024. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

Official description

A vulnerability was found in the quarkus-core component. Quarkus captures local environment variables from the Quarkus namespace during the application's build, therefore, running the resulting application inherits the values captured at build time. Some local environment variables may have been set by the developer or CI environment for testing purposes, such as dropping the database during application startup or trusting all TLS certificates to accept self-signed certificates. If these properties are configured using environment variables or the .env facility, they are captured into the built application, which can lead to dangerous behavior if the application does not override these values. This behavior only happens for configuration properties from the `quarkus.*` namespace. Application-specific properties are not captured.
