# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2019-0188

Advisory: XML External Entity injection in Apache Camel
IDs: CVE-2019-0188, GHSA-h896-mx9x-g32g
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2019-0188 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 16:01 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: High (CVSS 7.5)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Partial vendor fix; fixed versions by package: org.apache.camel:camel-core 2.24.0. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Maven org.apache.camel:camel-xmljson: affected <= 2.23.4
- Maven org.apache.camel:camel-core: affected < 2.24.0; fixed in 2.24.0

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Maven org.apache.camel:camel-xmljson: check the installed version with your package manager.
- Maven org.apache.camel:camel-core: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on org.apache.camel:camel-xmljson, org.apache.camel:camel-core.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-h896-mx9x-g32g (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-h896-mx9x-g32g lists affected ranges: Maven org.apache.camel:camel-core >=0 =0 <=2.23.4)
