## What is CVE-2026-103412?

CVE-2026-103412 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in Apache Camel Karavan, published on 9 Oct 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

Improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory ('path traversal') vulnerability in Apache Camel Karavan.

A project file name supplied through the project file API was used verbatim as a path segment when the project was written to the working copy for a Git commit, so a name containing `../` sequences caused the file content to be written outside the project directory, to any location writable by the Karavan process. An authenticated user of any role could use this to overwrite application configuration or files on the application classpath and so execute code in the Karavan container.

This issue affects Apache Camel Karavan: from 3.18.0 before 4.22.1.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.22.1, which fixes the issue.

Weakness: CWE-22 (Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory)

Check this codebase for CVE-2026-103412 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2026-103412 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in Apache Camel Karavan, published on 9 Oct 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-103412 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Apache Camel Karavan. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
