Published by the GitHub Advisory Database at 6 Jul 2026, 12:31 UTC. agentprime has not analysed this yet, so whether it affects any app is not known.

## Affected packages

- `org.apache.camel:camel-couchbase` (Maven): affected `>=4.0.0, <4.14.8 || >=4.15.0, <4.18.3 || >=4.19.0, <4.21.0`; fixed in `4.14.8`, `4.18.3`, `4.21.0`

## Machine-written summary

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

> Apache Camel-Couchbase (org.apache.camel:camel-couchbase) versions 4.0.0 up to 4.14.8 (excluding 4.14.8), 4.15.0 up to 4.18.3, and 4.19.0 up to 4.21.0 are affected. Non-Camel-prefixed Exchange headers can bypass HeaderFilterStrategy, so untrusted input can override the Couchbase operation; the source gives few details on the exact attacker position required. Upgrade to version 4.14.8, 4.18.3, or 4.21.0, depending on your release line.

## Check whether this affects you

A Match means an installed version is in the affected range above. Most don’t affect the app; agentprime hasn’t analysed this one yet.

- With the agentprime MCP server (<https://api.agentprime.io/mcp>), ask your agent to check the project: `check_lockfile` sends a lockfile, `check_packages` a list of installed packages, and both return the Matches and the upgrades that clear them. `get_advisory` returns this record. Setup: <https://agentprime.io/mcp.md>
- In a browser: <https://agentprime.io/check/> reads your lockfile in the browser, never uploading it.
- Whether it touches your code, with file and line: the Claude Code plugin, <https://agentprime.io/plugin.md>
- As JSON: <https://api.agentprime.io/v1/advisories/GHSA-46jf-c9vx-hh79>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
