Vulnerability in Apache Camel

A token issued by one Keycloak realm is silently accepted by a policy configured for a completely different realm, breaking tenant isolation. This issue affects Apache Camel: from 4.15.0 before 4.18.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.18.0, which fixes the issue.
