Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Valtimo is an open source business process and case management platform. When opening a form in Valtimo, the access token (JWT) of the user is exposed to `api.form.io` via the the `x-jwt-token` header. An attacker can retrieve personal information from this token, or use it to execute requests to the Valtimo REST API on behalf of the logged-in user. This issue is caused by a misconfiguration of the Form.io component. The following conditions have to be met in order to perform this attack: An attacker needs to have access to the network traffic on the `api.form.io` domain; the content of the `x-jwt-token` header is logged or otherwise available to the attacker; an attacker needs to have network access to the Valtimo API; and an attacker needs to act within the time-to-live of the access token. The default TTL in Keycloak is 5 minutes. Versions 10.8.4, 11.1.6 and 11.2.2 have been patched.

How this class of weakness works · CWE-532

Sensitive values — secrets, tokens, session identifiers, personal data — are written into log files, so anyone with access to the logs, which is often a broad group, obtains them. It turns a routine diagnostic into a credential leak. The fix is redacting sensitive data before it is logged and tightly restricting who can read the logs.

Recommended fix High confidence

Upgrade to version 10.8.4 (for 10.x), 11.1.6 (for 11.1.x), or 11.2.2 (for 11.2.x) - or later versions within the respective branch

  1. 1. Identify the current Valtimo version in use by checking the package.json or build configuration
  2. 2. Determine the major version branch (10.x, 11.1.x, or 11.2.x) to select the appropriate target version
  3. 3. For Valtimo 10.x: upgrade to version 10.8.4 or later
  4. 4. For Valtimo 11.1.x: upgrade to version 11.1.6 or later
  5. 5. For Valtimo 11.2.x: upgrade to version 11.2.2 or later
  6. 6. Update the valtimo-frontend-libraries dependency in package.json to the patched version
  7. 7. Rebuild and redeploy the frontend application
  8. 8. Verify that the x-jwt-token header is no longer sent to api.form.io
Caveat Standard upgrade considerations apply; ensure backend API versions are compatible with the frontend libraries version
