How to Fix CVE-2024-32028

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.Http dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.Http fixed: 1.8.1
Upgrade OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.Http to 1.8.1
OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.AspNetCore fixed: 1.8.1
Upgrade OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.AspNetCore to 1.8.1
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:

inspect dependencies for OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.Http

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2024-32028, inspect your project dependencies for OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.Http:

inspect dependencies for OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.Http

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.Http in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.8.1), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-212: Improper Removal of Sensitive Information Before Storage or Transfer, where the product stores, transfers, or shares a resource that contains sensitive information, but it does not properly remove that information before the product makes the resource available to unauthorized actors. In OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.Http, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

## 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](https://github.com/open-telemetry/semantic-conventions/blob/main/docs/http/http-spans.md). 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`
