Summary
Deserialization of Untrusted Data in Apache Camel CassandraQL
Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in Apache Camel CassandraQL Component AggregationRepository which is vulnerable to unsafe deserialization. Under specific conditions it is possible to deserialize malicious payload.This issue affects Apache Camel: from 3.0.0 before 3.21.4, from 3.22.0 before 3.22.1, from 4.0.0 before 4.0.4, from 4.1.0 before 4.4.0.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.4.0, which fixes the issue. If users are on the 4.0.x LTS releases stream, then they are suggested to upgrade to 4.0.4. If users are on 3.x, they are suggested to move to 3.21.4 or 3.22.1
Impact
Untrusted serialized data is processed by a deserializer that can instantiate arbitrary objects or execute code as a side effect. Typical impact: arbitrary code execution or logic abuse.

Kodem intelligence
Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.
Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is CVE-2024-23114? CVE-2024-23114 is a high-severity insecure deserialization vulnerability in org.apache.camel:camel-cassandraql (maven), affecting versions >= 3.0.0, < 3.21.4. It is fixed in 3.21.4, 3.22.1, 4.0.4, 4.4.0. Untrusted serialized data is processed by a deserializer that can instantiate arbitrary objects or execute code as a side effect.
- Which versions of org.apache.camel:camel-cassandraql are affected by CVE-2024-23114? org.apache.camel:camel-cassandraql (maven) versions >= 3.0.0, < 3.21.4 is affected.
- Is there a fix for CVE-2024-23114? Yes. CVE-2024-23114 is fixed in 3.21.4, 3.22.1, 4.0.4, 4.4.0. Upgrade to this version or later.
- Is CVE-2024-23114 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2024-23114 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

- What actually determines whether CVE-2024-23114 is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
