OpenTelemetry Java Instrumentation: JDBC Auto-Instrumentation Logging Clear-Text Passwords

Published Jul 1, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 6.5 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
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.
