Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Apache Camel's camel-platform-http-main module is vulnerable to an authentication bypass in versions 4.14.1 to before 4.14.6, 4.18.0 to before 4.18.2, and 4.19.0 to before 4.20.0. When authentication is enabled and a non-root context path is configured, requests to subpaths of that path are not challenged for credentials, so an unauthenticated remote attacker can reach protected routes and management endpoints. Upgrade to 4.14.6, 4.18.2, or 4.20.0 depending on your release line.
