Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to trigger server-side requests to attacker-selected URLs and disclose sensitive local file contents.
The vulnerability exists due to unvalidated, prefix-based interpretation of string message bodies in the Apache Camel DoclingProducer component when processing messages forwarded to a docling endpoint. A remote attacker can supply a message body beginning with http:// or https:// to trigger a remote fetch, or a body beginning with / or containing a backslash to select a local filesystem path, to access remote resources or disclose local file contents instead of converting the supplied text.
