Affected packages
• Maven com.ritense.valtimo:inbox: >= 13.0.0.RELEASE, < 13.22.0.RELEASE → fixed in 13.22.0.RELEASE
Description
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 via commit `f16a1940ba` (PR #497, tracking issue gzac-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
