Published Updated By the CyberSecBulletin desk

CVE-2024-34706 is a critical-severity insertion of sensitive information into log file vulnerability in valtimo-frontend-libraries from Valtimo-platform, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. Affected valtimo-frontend-libraries versions: < 10.8.4; >= 11.0.0, < 11.1.6; >= 11.2.0, < 11.2.2. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 1.06% chance of exploitation within 30 days, higher than 65% of scored CVEs.

Patch this week

Critical severity: a successful attack would have severe impact.

What to do

  1. Update frontend-libraries to 10.8.4 or 11.2.2 or 11.1.6, whichever matches your release line, or a later version.
  2. Read the advisory on github.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
  3. Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description

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.

The underlying weakness: Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File

The product writes sensitive information to a log file.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

  • Consider seriously the sensitivity of the information written into log files. Do not write secrets into the log files.
  • Remove debug log files before deploying the application into production.
  • Protect log files against unauthorized read/write.
