Summary

CVE-2023-39951 is a vulnerability in OpenTelemetry Java Instrumentation prior to version 1.28.0 that affects Java applications using the AWS SDK v2 with Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) v1 API. When SES POST requests are instrumented, the query parameters of the request are inserted into the trace `url.path` field, which exposes the email subject and message in the trace request URL metadata. This poses a potential danger as the email content sent to SES may end up being exposed to unintended audiences. To remediate this vulnerability, users should update OpenTelemetry Java Instrumentation to version 1.28.0 or later. The vulnerability has a medium severity rating with a base score of 6.5 based on CVSS:3.1, indicating low privileges required and no user interaction needed, but high confidentiality impact.
