Security Impact
CVSS: 7.6
The security impact metrics below are parsed directly from the CVSS v3.1 vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:N).
How to Fix CVE-2026-44516
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Web 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>web</artifactId>
<version>12.33.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.ritense.valtimo</groupId>
<artifactId>web</artifactId>
<version>13.26.0</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-2026-44516, 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 Web in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 12.33.0), 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.

"summary" : "Valtimo has sensitive data exposure through HTTP request/response logging in LoggingRestClientCustomizer",
"details" : "### Summary\n\nThe `LoggingRestClientCustomizer` in the `web` module automatically intercepts all outgoing HTTP calls made via Spring's `RestClient` and logs the full request body, response body, and response headers. When an error response is received, this information is included in the thrown `HttpClientErrorException` message, which is logged at ERROR level by Spring's default exception handling — regardless of the application's DEBUG log level setting.\n\n### Impact\n\nThe logged data can contain highly sensitive information including:\n- Authentication credentials (JWT tokens, API keys, OAuth tokens) in request bodies or response headers\n- Personal data (BSN, email addresses, case details) in request/response bodies\n- Session tokens in `Set-Cookie` response headers\n\nThis data is exposed to:\n- Anyone with access to application logs (stdout/log files)\n- Users with access to logging aggregation tools (e.g. Grafana/Loki)\n- Any Valtimo user with the admin role, through the built-in logging module (since Valtimo 12.5.0)\n\nLeaked authentication credentials could be used to impersonate the Valtimo application against the target external API (e.g. ZGW services), compromising that API's security boundary.\n\nRelated: GHSA-hfrg-mcvw-8mch (similar sensitive data exposure in InboxHandlingService)\n\n### Affected Code\n\n`com.ritense.valtimo.web.logging.LoggingRestClientCustomizer#intercept` in the `web` module.\n\n### Patched Versions\n\nThe vulnerability is fixed in:\n- **12.33.0** (v12 release line) — see PR #600\n- **13.26.0** (v13 release line) — see PR #599\n\nThe fix removes the request/response report, headers, and response body from the `HttpClientErrorException` constructor; only the HTTP status code and status text remain. The full request/response report is still emitted at DEBUG level (disabled in production).\n\n### Mitigation\n\nIf you cannot upgrade to a patched version immediately, consider:\n- Restricting access to application logs and the Valtimo logging module\n- Adjusting the log level for `com.ritense.valtimo.web.logging` to WARN or higher (note: this only mitigates the DEBUG logging path; error responses still leak data via the exception message)",
