opentelemetry-instrumentation-redis is vulnerable to Exposure of Sensitive Information

Exposure of Sensitive Information Pre-CVE
Found by Aikido Intel before public disclosure or CVE publication.

21

Low Risk

This Affects:

RUBYopentelemetry-instrumentation-redis
0.24.0 - 0.26.0
Fixed in 0.26.1

TL;DR

Affected versions of this package may inadvertently expose sensitive authentication information. Since Redis 5 is a wrapper around RedisClient, the middleware-based instrumentation designed for RedisClient also applies to Redis 5. As a result, when using Redis 5, AUTH parameters are improperly recorded as span attributes at runtime, potentially leaking credentials and other sensitive data.

Who does this affect?

You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range.
