Affected packages
• NuGet OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.Http: < 1.8.1 → fixed in 1.8.1
• NuGet OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.AspNetCore: < 1.8.1 → fixed in 1.8.1
Description
Impact
`OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.Http` writes the `url.full` 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 the `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.
Resolution
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.
Example transmitted or received query sting:
`?key1=value1&key2=value2`
Example of redacted value written on telemetry:
`?key1=Redacted&key2=Redacted`
