Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Apache Camel's camel-keycloak component, versions 4.18.0 before 4.18.3 and 4.19.0 before 4.21.0, does not check whether access tokens are expired or not yet valid, so expired tokens are accepted. An attacker holding an expired or not-yet-valid access token can use it to authenticate to routes that rely on this helper. Upgrade to camel-keycloak 4.21.0, or 4.18.3 if on the 4.18.x stream. Until then, validate the token's exp and nbf claims in the route itself.
