Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

The opentelemetry-javaagent Maven package, versions before 2.28.0-alpha, is affected. The JDBC auto-instrumentation may fail to sanitize passwords in SQL CONNECT statements when the password is double-quoted, so clear-text database passwords can be recorded in trace span attributes and exported to observability backends. Upgrade to version 2.28.0-alpha or later.
