Valtimo: Sensitive data exposure through inbox message logging in InboxHandlingService
Quick fix
GHSA-hfrg-mcvw-8mch — com.ritense.valtimo:inbox: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
# pom.xml: bump <version>13.22.0.RELEASE</version> for com.ritense.valtimo:inboxDetails
### Summary
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](https://github.com/valtimo-platform/valtimo/releases/tag/13.22.0) via commit [`f16a1940ba`](https://github.com/valtimo-platform/valtimo/commit/f16a1940ba7b34627c0b966f98ca78655ace9335) (PR [#497](https://github.com/valtimo-platform/valtimo/pull/497), tracking issue [gzac-issues#653](https://github.com/generiekzaakafhandelcomponent/gzac-issues/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
