CVE-2026-54704
MEDIUMOpenTelemetry Java Instrumentation: JDBC Auto-Instrumentation Logging Clear-Text Passwords
Title source: cnaDescription
OpenTelemetry Java Instrumentation provides OpenTelemetry auto-instrumentation and instrumentation libraries for Java. In versions prior to 2.28.0, the JDBC auto-instrumentation may fail to sanitize passwords in SQL CONNECT statements when the password is double-quoted. As a result, clear-text database passwords can be added to trace span attributes and exported to observability backends. This issue has been fixed in version 2.28.0.
