CVE-2024-32028

Summary

CVE-2024-32028 affects OpenTelemetry's dotnet telemetry framework, specifically versions of `OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.Http` and `OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.AspNetCore`. These components write query string information as attributes/tags on spans (`Activity`) when tracing is enabled for outgoing and incoming HTTP requests, respectively. Prior to version 1.8.1, these components passed through raw query strings, potentially leaking sensitive information such as End User Identifiable Information and credentials into telemetry backends. This vulnerability could result in privacy and security incidents. The 1.8.1 versions of `OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.Http` and `OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.AspNetCore` now redact query strings by default. It is recommended that users upgrade as there are no known workarounds for this issue.
