Summary

CVE-2025-30177 is a medium-severity Improper Neutralization of Internal Special Elements (CWE-164) vulnerability in Apache Camel. Its CVSS base score is 6.5 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked in the top 36% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

Bypass/Injection vulnerability in Apache Camel in Camel-Undertow component under particular conditions. This issue affects Apache Camel: from 4.10.0 before 4.10.3, from 4.8.0 before 4.8.6. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.10.3 for 4.10.x LTS and 4.8.6 for 4.8.x LTS.…

more

Camel undertow component is vulnerable to Camel message header injection, in particular the custom header filter strategy used by the component only filter the "out" direction, while it doesn't filter the "in" direction. This allows an attacker to include Camel specific headers that for some Camel components can alter the behaviour such as the camel-bean component, or the camel-exec component.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

Input validation directly requires checking and sanitizing special elements before they reach downstream components.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly require proper input neutralization to prevent this class of injection flaw.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

Security testing in development and acceptance can detect the weakness but does not prevent it at design or coding time.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure development life cycle mandates input validation and sanitization that directly prevents improper neutralization of internal special elements.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements explicitly call for controls against injection and malformed input that cause this weakness.

A.8.27 Secure system architecture and engineering principles partial match
prevents

Secure system architecture principles reduce attack surface but do not specifically address neutralization of internal special elements.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding standards require proper escaping and neutralization of special elements, directly mitigating CWE-164.
