@opentelemetry/instrumentation-cassandra-driver is vulnerable to Information Disclosure
58
Medium Risk
This Affects:
@opentelemetry/instrumentation-cassandra-driverTL;DR
These OpenTelemetry database instrumentations record the database connection username as the db.user span attribute on every instrumented operation, unconditionally and without an opt-in flag such as enhancedDatabaseReporting. The attribute is exported to every configured observability backend, which can reveal service-account names, role-encoded usernames, and account naming patterns useful for privilege inference or credential enumeration. The fix stops emitting db.user by default and aligns database attribute emission with the stable attribute set.
Who does this affect?
You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range and export OpenTelemetry spans from instrumented database operations to an observability backend.
