CVE-2024-32028

Summary

CVE-2024-32028 is a vulnerability affecting the OpenTelemetry dotnet telemetry framework. Specifically, the `OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.Http` and `OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.AspNetCore` versions are affected. The issue arises when tracing is enabled for outgoing or incoming HTTP requests, as the framework writes certain attributes/tags on spans. In previous versions up until 1.8.1, these attributes would pass-through the raw query string of the request or response, potentially exposing sensitive information such as end user identifiable information and credentials to telemetry backends. This poses a risk to privacy and security incidents within organizations using the affected versions of OpenTelemetry. The vulnerability has a base severity of MEDIUM with a base score of 4.1 according to CVSS:3.1, indicating a moderate level of danger. Remediation for this vulnerability involves updating to a version that addresses this issue to prevent potential leaks of sensitive information.
