How severe is GHSA-429q-mrc4-38fr?

No CVSS score has been assigned to GHSA-429q-mrc4-38fr yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-429q-mrc4-38fr?

GHSA-429q-mrc4-38fr affects the following packages: org.apache.camel:camel-leveldb (Maven), org.apache.camel:camel-leveldb (Maven), org.apache.camel:camel-leveldb (Maven). Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix GHSA-429q-mrc4-38fr?

Update org.apache.camel:camel-leveldb to 4.10.9 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-429q-mrc4-38fr is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-429q-mrc4-38fr in my Maven dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.apache.camel:camel-leveldb, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate GHSA-429q-mrc4-38fr if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Do not deserialise data from untrusted sources: where the format allows it, restrict deserialisation to an explicit allowlist of expected types, and prefer a data-only format (JSON, Protobuf) over one that can reconstruct arbitrary objects until you can upgrade.

Is GHSA-429q-mrc4-38fr actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-429q-mrc4-38fr yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for GHSA-429q-mrc4-38fr?

GHSA-429q-mrc4-38fr has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 1.3%, placing it in the 70th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is GHSA-429q-mrc4-38fr?

GHSA-429q-mrc4-38fr is classified as Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CWE-502). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation. This is a high-impact weakness class that often enables remote code execution or data exposure.

When was GHSA-429q-mrc4-38fr published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-429q-mrc4-38fr was published on February 23, 2026 and was last updated on February 25, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

No confirmed exploitation observed yet

CISA assesses this as automatable — exploitation doesn’t require manual, per-target effort, which raises the odds of mass scanning and opportunistic attacks.
A successful exploit gives an attacker total control of the affected component, not partial access.

Description

Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in Apache Camel LevelDB component.

The Camel-LevelDB DefaultLevelDBSerializer class deserializes data read from the LevelDB aggregation repository using java.io.ObjectInputStream without applying any ObjectInputFilter or class-loading restrictions. An attacker who can write to the LevelDB database files used by a Camel application can inject a crafted serialized Java object that, when deserialized during normal aggregation repository operations, results in arbitrary code execution in the context of the application. This issue affects Apache Camel: from 4.10.0 before 4.10.8, from 4.14.0 before 4.14.5, from 4.15.0 before 4.18.0.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.18.0, which fixes the issue. For the 4.10.x LTS releases, users are recommended to upgrade to 4.10.9, while for 4.14.x LTS releases, users are recommended to upgrade to 4.14.5
