CVE-2026-24656 - Apache Karaf Decanter Plugin
CVE-2026-24656
Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in Apache Karaf Decanter.
The Decanter log socket collector exposes the port 4560, without authentication. If the collector exposes allowed classes property, this configuration can be bypassed.
It means that the log socket collector is vulnerable to deserialization of untrusted data, eventually causing DoS.
NB: Decanter log socket collector is not installed by default. Users who have not installed Decanter log socket are not impacted by this issue.
This issue affects Apache Karaf Decanter before 2.12.0.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.12.0, which fixes the issue.

Potential Impact
Severity is LOW (CVSS 3.7). Depending on deployment context, affected components may be exposed to unauthorized actions or data integrity risk.
Exploitability Assessment
Exploitability is assessed as Low based on low-bar exploit prerequisites.
Primary risk drivers: low-bar exploit prerequisites
Mitigation Recommendations
Validate affected product versions, prioritize patching, and monitor references for vendor remediation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, apply compensating controls and limit exposure of vulnerable surfaces.
Detection & Monitoring
Track authentication anomalies, unexpected file writes, and suspicious plugin API activity around affected components.
Business Impact Lens
Prioritize remediation where affected components process customer data, admin sessions, or Internet-exposed workflows.
