What to do

AI-suggested

  1. Immediate upgrade to Valtimo platform versions 12.16.0 or 13.1.2 or later, where the vulnerability is patched.
  2. Restrict admin role assignments strictly to trusted personnel and enforce strong authentication mechanisms such as multi-factor authentication (MFA) to reduce risk of credential compromise.
  3. Audit and monitor process definitions for unauthorized or suspicious scripting activities, especially those leveraging the Camunda/Operator engine.
  4. If upgrading is not immediately feasible, consider disabling scripting via the ProcessEngineConfiguration, but thoroughly test this change in a staging environment to identify and mitigate any side effects on business processes.
  5. Implement network segmentation and host-based intrusion detection to detect anomalous command executions on Valtimo hosts.
  6. Regularly review logs and alerts for signs of OS command injection attempts or unusual administrative actions.
  7. Educate administrators on the risks of this vulnerability and best practices for secure process definition management.

Description

Valtimo is a platform for Business Process Automation. In versions before 12.16.0.RELEASE, and from 13.0.0.RELEASE to before 13.1.2.RELEASE, any admin that can create or modify and execute process-definitions could gain access to sensitive data or resources. This includes but is not limited to: running executables on the application host, inspecting and extracting data from the host environment or application properties, spring beans (application context, database pooling). The following conditions have to be met in order to perform this attack: the user must be logged in, have the admin role, and must have some knowledge about running scripts via a the Camunda/Operator engine. Version 12.16.0 and 13.1.2 have been patched. It is strongly advised to upgrade. If no scripting is needed in any of the processes, it could be possible to disable it altogether via the ProcessEngineConfiguration. However, this workaround could lead to unexpected side-effects.
