Machine-written summary

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

Apache Camel camel-pqc versions from 4.18.0 before 4.18.3 and from 4.19.0 before 4.21.0 are affected. The AWS Secrets Manager key-lifecycle manager deserializes stored key metadata with Java serialization and no class filter, so a principal with permission to write the secret (secretsmanager:PutSecretValue) could store a crafted object that may lead to code execution in the application managing the keys. Upgrade to camel-pqc 4.21.0, or 4.18.3 on the 4.18.x LTS stream. Until then, limit PutSecretValue on the key metadata secret to the application's own identity.
