How to Fix CVE-2025-48881
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Objecten api dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
<dependency>
<groupId>com.ritense.valtimo</groupId>
<artifactId>objecten-api</artifactId>
<version>Latest secure release</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.ritense.valtimo</groupId>
<artifactId>object-management</artifactId>
<version>Latest secure release</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.ritense.valtimo</groupId>
<artifactId>object-management</artifactId>
<version>12.13.0.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.ritense.valtimo</groupId>
<artifactId>objecten-api</artifactId>
<version>12.13.0.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=com.ritense.valtimo
How to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2025-48881, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=com.ritense.valtimo
Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Objecten api in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 12.13.0.RELEASE), your application is affected.
Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=com.ritense.valtimo command inspects the resolved dependency graph declared in your project's POM files; it does not perform automated security scanning or inspect runtime dynamic classpaths. Always verify runtime container classpaths and shaded JARs.

Depending on the implementation, this could result in loss of functionality.",
