Run in a VM or disposable container. This exploits a real vulnerability.
02 · The vulnerability

When authentication is enabled for Apache Camel's embedded HTTP server or embedded management server (camel-platform-http-main) and a non-root context path (e.g., /api or /admin) is configured via camel.server.path or camel.management.path, the authentication handler is registered only for the exact context path. Due to the Vert.x sub-router mounting model (_path_*), subpaths are not protected unless camel.server.authenticationPath / camel.management.authenticationPath is explicitly set. As a result, unauthenticated requests to subpaths (e.g., /api/_route_ or /admin/observe/info) can reach protected business routes and management endpoints.
