Apache Camel: Camel-FOP Resolves External DTDs and Entities From Untrusted XSL-FO Input When a Third-Party JAXP TransformerFactory Is Present

03 Exploitation and scoring

Exploitation
Assessed, none found. CISA's assessment recorded neither public exploit code nor evidence of exploitation when it was made.
SSVC decision
  • ExploitationnoneCISA recorded no public exploit code and no evidence of exploitation.
  • AutomatablenoAt least one step from reconnaissance to exploitation cannot be reliably automated.
  • Technical ImpactpartialSuccessful exploitation gives limited control of the vulnerable component.
CISA publishes the decision points, not a final SSVC decision. The decision also depends on mission and well-being impact, which is a property of your deployment rather than of the vulnerability.
EPSS probability
0.30% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.
EPSS percentile
Equal to or higher than the score of 23.1% of scored records. A rank, not a probability.
NVD base score
6.5 (CVSS v3.x), scored by the NVD independently of the CNA.
NVD CVSS vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N
NVD analysis status
Awaiting Analysis. NVD last modified this record on 2026-10-19.
Red Hat severity
No Red Hat rating. Red Hat rates the CVEs that affect its products.

Exploit-prediction scores from FIRST. Independent scoring and analysis status from the NVD. Vendor severity from Red Hat. Exploitation assessment and catalog membership from CISA.

07 Remediation

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.23.0, which fixes the issue. If users are on the 4.22.x releases stream, then they are suggested to upgrade to 4.22.1. If users are on the 4.18.x releases stream, then they are suggested to upgrade to 4.18.5. FopProducer now also sets ACCESS_EXTERNAL_DTD and ACCESS_EXTERNAL_STYLESHEET to the empty string on the TransformerFactory it creates, in addition to FEATURE_SECURE_PROCESSING, matching the secure XML processing configuration used by org.apache.camel.converter.jaxp.XmlConverter, so external DTD and stylesheet access is refused on any JAXP implementation that honours those attributes. The 4.14.x releases stream and earlier reached end of life before this issue was resolved and will not receive a fix, so deployments on those lines must move to a supported release.
