Sensitive query parameters logged by default in OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation http and AspNetCore
Summary
Sensitive query parameters logged by default in OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation http and AspNetCore
Original description
The description as published by the source.
OpenTelemetry dotnet is a dotnet telemetry framework. In affected versions of OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.Http and OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.AspNetCore the url.full writes attribute/tag on spans (Activity) when tracing is enabled for outgoing http requests and OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.AspNetCore writes the url.query attribute/tag on spans (Activity) when tracing is enabled for incoming http requests. These attributes are defined by the Semantic Conventions for HTTP Spans. Up until version 1.8.1 the values written by OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.Http & OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.AspNetCore will pass-through the raw query string as was sent or received (respectively). This may lead to sensitive information (e.g. EUII - End User Identifiable Information, credentials, etc.) being leaked into telemetry backends (depending on the application(s) being instrumented) which could cause privacy and/or security incidents. Note: Older versions of OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.Http & OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.AspNetCore may use different tag names but have the same vulnerability. The 1.8.1 versions of OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.Http & OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.AspNetCore will now redact by default all values detected on transmitted or received query strings. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.
