Title
Apache Camel: Camel-MongoDB-GridFS: The gridfs.* control headers used non-Camel-prefixed names that bypass the HTTP header filter, allowing an HTTP client to switch the GridFS operation - including destructive file deletion - in the default configuration
Summary
Improper Input Validation, Improper Access Control vulnerability in Apache Camel in Camel Mongodb Gridfs component. The camel-mongodb-gridfs producer selects the GridFS operation to perform from the gridfs.operation Exchange header when the endpoint's operation parameter is not set - which is the default. The control-header constants (GridFsConstants.GRIDFS_OPERATION, GRIDFS_OBJECT_ID, GRIDFS_METADATA, GRIDFS_CHUNKSIZE, GRIDFS_FILE_ID_PRODUCED) were the plain strings gridfs.operation, gridfs.objectid, gridfs.metadata, gridfs.chunksize and gridfs.fileid. Because these names do not start with the Camel / camel prefix, HttpHeaderFilterStrategy - which blocks only the Camel header namespace on the HTTP boundary - let them pass from an inbound HTTP request straight into the Exchange. In a route that bridges an HTTP consumer (for example platform-http) into a mongodb-gridfs: producer with no explicit operation, any HTTP client could therefore set the gridfs.operation header to override the route's intended operation - switching, for example, a file upload to remove (deleting a file identified by the attacker-supplied gridfs.objectid), listAll (enumerating every file in the bucket) or findOne (reading a file) - and supply a gridfs.metadata value that is parsed as a MongoDB document, enabling NoSQL operator injection. No credentials are required when the bridging consumer is unauthenticated. This issue affects Apache Camel: from 4.0.0 before 4.14.8, from 4.15.0 before 4.18.3, from 4.19.0 before 4.21.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.21.0, which fixes the issue. If users are on the 4.14.x LTS releases stream, then they are suggested to upgrade to 4.14.8. If users are on the 4.18.x releases stream, then they are suggested to upgrade to 4.18.3. After upgrading, routes that drive GridFS operations or metadata via the raw header names must use CamelGridFsOperation / CamelGridFsObjectId / CamelGridFsMetadata / CamelGridFsChunkSize / CamelGridFsFileId instead of the gridfs.* names. For deployments that cannot upgrade immediately, set an explicit operation on the mongodb-gridfs: endpoint so the operation is not taken from a header, and strip the gridfs.* headers from any untrusted ingress before the producer.

            "value": "Vulnerabilidad de validaci\u00f3n de entrada incorrecta y control de acceso incorrecto en Apache Camel en el componente Camel Mongodb Gridfs.\n\nEl productor camel-mongodb-gridfs selecciona la operaci\u00f3n GridFS a realizar del encabezado de intercambio gridfs.operation cuando el par\u00e1metro de operaci\u00f3n del endpoint no est\u00e1 configurado, lo cual es el valor predeterminado. Las constantes del encabezado de control (GridFsConstants.GRIDFS_OPERATION, GRIDFS_OBJECT_ID, GRIDFS_METADATA, GRIDFS_CHUNKSIZE, GRIDFS_FILE_ID_PRODUCED) eran las cadenas de texto simples gridfs.operation, gridfs.objectid, gridfs.metadata, gridfs.chunksize y gridfs.fileid. Debido a que estos nombres no comienzan con el prefijo Camel / camel, HttpHeaderFilterStrategy - que bloquea solo el espacio de nombres del encabezado Camel en el l\u00edmite HTTP - los dej\u00f3 pasar de una solicitud HTTP entrante directamente al Intercambio. En una ruta que conecta un consumidor HTTP (por ejemplo, platform-http) a un productor mongodb-gridfs: sin operaci\u00f3n expl\u00edcita, cualquier cliente HTTP podr\u00eda, por lo tanto, establecer el encabezado gridfs.operation para anular la operaci\u00f3n prevista de la ruta - cambiando, por ejemplo, una carga de archivo a eliminar (eliminando un archivo identificado por el gridfs.objectid proporcionado por el atacante), listAll (enumerando cada archivo en el bucket) o findOne (leyendo un archivo) - y suministrar un valor gridfs.metadata que se analiza como un documento de MongoDB, lo que permite la inyecci\u00f3n de operadores NoSQL. No se requieren credenciales cuando el consumidor de conexi\u00f3n no est\u00e1 autenticado.\nEste problema afecta a Apache Camel: desde 4.0.0 antes de 4.14.8, desde 4.15.0 antes de 4.18.3, desde 4.19.0 antes de 4.21.0.\n\nSe recomienda a los usuarios actualizar a la versi\u00f3n 4.21.0, que corrige el problema. Si los usuarios est\u00e1n en la rama de versiones LTS 4.14.x, entonces se les sugiere actualizar a 4.14.8. Si los usuarios est\u00e1n en la rama de versiones 4.18.x, entonces se les sugiere actualizar a 4.18.3. Despu\u00e9s de actualizar, las rutas que impulsan operaciones o metadatos de GridFS a trav\u00e9s de los nombres de encabezado sin procesar deben usar CamelGridFsOperation / CamelGridFsObjectId / CamelGridFsMetadata / CamelGridFsChunkSize / CamelGridFsFileId en lugar de los nombres gridfs.*. Para implementaciones que no pueden actualizar de inmediato, establezca una operaci\u00f3n expl\u00edcita en el endpoint mongodb-gridfs: para que la operaci\u00f3n no se tome de un encabezado, y elimine los encabezados gridfs.* de cualquier entrada no confiable antes del productor."
