The @opentelemetry/instrumentation-http package for Node.js versions >=0.204.0 and <0.222.0 improperly handles sensitive query parameters in incoming HTTP requests. While outgoing client spans redact sensitive URL query parameters, incoming server spans do not, resulting in raw query strings—including credentials like AWS presigned URLs, Azure SAS tokens, and GCS signed URLs—being recorded in plaintext in the url.query attribute. This sensitive information is then exported to the tracing backend, exposing valid credentials to anyone with access to telemetry data. The issue is patched in version 0.222.0, which redacts sensitive query parameters by default for incoming spans and introduces a redactedQueryParamsServer option for customization.
