Real-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

Summary

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.

Impact

The logged data can contain highly sensitive information including:

  • Authentication credentials (JWT tokens, API keys, OAuth tokens) in request bodies or response headers
  • Personal data (BSN, email addresses, case details) in request/response bodies
  • Session tokens in Set-Cookie response headers

This data is exposed to:

  • Anyone with access to application logs (stdout/log files)
  • Users with access to logging aggregation tools (e.g. Grafana/Loki)
  • Any Valtimo user with the admin role, through the built-in logging module (since Valtimo 12.5.0)

Leaked 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.

Affected Code

Patched Versions

The vulnerability is fixed in:

  • 12.33.0 (v12 release line) — see PR #600
  • 13.26.0 (v13 release line) — see PR #599

The 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).

Mitigation

If you cannot upgrade to a patched version immediately, consider:

  • Restricting access to application logs and the Valtimo logging module
  • 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)

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for com.ritense.valtimo:web, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. 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 GHSA-3jh5-rr2q-xfv7 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    Assume what was exposed is already known: rotate any credential, token or key that the affected component could return, restrict the endpoint to callers that genuinely need it, and strip sensitive fields from responses and error output at the boundary rather than relying on the client not to read them.
