Valtimo: Sensitive data exposure through inbox message logging in InboxHandlingService
CVE-2026-34164 · GHSA-hfrg-mcvw-8mch
- Affected
- Maven com.ritense.valtimo:inbox >= 13.0.0.RELEASE, < 13.22.0.RELEASE
- Fixed in
- 13.22.0.RELEASE· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- The InboxHandlingService logs the full content of every incoming inbox message at INFO level (logger.info("Received message: {}", message)). Inbox messages are wrappers around outbox message data, which can contain highly sensitive information such as personal data (PII), citizen identifiers (BSN), and case details. Impact This data is exposed to: - Anyone with access to application logs (stdout/log files) - Any Valtimo user with the admin role, through the logging module in the Admin UI Affected Code com.ritense.inbox.InboxHandlingService#handle in the inbox module. Resolution Fixed in 13.22.0 via commit f16a1940ba (PR #497, tracking issue gzac-issues#653). The log statement was downgraded from INFO to DEBUG and the message payload was removed from the log output. Mitigation For versions before 13.22.0, consider: - Restricting access to application logs - Adjusting the log level for com.ritense.inbox to WARN or higher in your application configuration
Recommended action: Upgrade to 13.22.0.RELEASE or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
