GHSA-rwqx-fvqh-6wm4

MEDIUM

GHSA-rwqx-fvqh-6wm4 is a medium-severity (CVSS 6.5) CWE-532 vulnerability in io.opentelemetry.javaagent:opentelemetry-javaagent. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-rwqx-fvqh-6wm4 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.

Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Maven packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

OpenTelemetry Java Instrumentation 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.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for io.opentelemetry.javaagent:opentelemetry-javaagent. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

  2. Fix

    Update io.opentelemetry.javaagent:opentelemetry-javaagent to 2.28.0-alpha or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-rwqx-fvqh-6wm4 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-rwqx-fvqh-6wm4 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Tailored to GHSA-rwqx-fvqh-6wm4. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
