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.

com.ritense.valtimo:objecten-api fixed: Latest secure release
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.ritense.valtimo</groupId>
    <artifactId>objecten-api</artifactId>

Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

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.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-863: Incorrect Authorization, where the product performs an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action, but it does not correctly perform the check. In Objecten api, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Impact All objects for which an object-management configuration exists can be listed, viewed, edited, created or deleted by unauthorised users. If object-urls are exposed via other channels, the contents of these objects can be viewed independent of object-management configurations. ### Attack requirements The following conditions have to be met in order to perform this attack: - A user must be logged in - No relevant application roles are required - At least one object-type must be configured via object-management - The scope of the attack is limited to objects that are configured via object-management. - The value of `showInDataMenu` is irrelevant for this attack ### Patches This issue was patched in version 12.13.0.RELEASE. ### Workarounds It is possible to override the endpoint security as defined in `ObjectenApiHttpSecurityConfigurer` and `ObjectManagementHttpSecurityConfigurer`. Depending on the implementation, this could result in loss of functionality.
