Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to disclose sensitive information and cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation and authorization bypass through user-controlled key in the Camel Lucene component when handling inbound HTTP requests to a route that exposes a Lucene query operation. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request with QUERY or RETURN_LUCENE_DOCS headers to disclose sensitive information and cause a denial of service.
