HIGHCVE-2026-44516 is a high-severity (CVSS 7.6) CWE-532 vulnerability in com.ritense.valtimo:web. O3 Security confirms whether CVE-2026-44516 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Valtimo: Sensitive data exposure through HTTP request/response logging in LoggingRestClientCustomizer
Real-World Exposure
com.ritense.valtimo:web☕com.ritense.valtimo:webReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Maven packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Valtimo is an open-source business process automation platform. From 12.4.0 to 12.33.0 and 13.26.0, the 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. This vulnerability is fixed in 12.33.0 and 13.26.0.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for com.ritense.valtimo:web. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update com.ritense.valtimo:web to 12.33.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-44516 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2026-44516 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to CVE-2026-44516. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
