Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in open-telemetry opentelemetry-ebpf-instrumentation up to 0.8.x and classified as critical. Affected by this issue is an unknown code block of the component Status Message Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a neutralization for logs vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-117. The product does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes output that is written to logs. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation provides eBPF instrumentation based on the OpenTelemetry standard. Prior to version 0.9.0, OBI exports raw Redis error text as the span status message. Because Redis error replies can contain attacker-controlled or sensitive values, this behavior can exfiltrate tokens, PII, or other confidential input into telemetry backends and inject untrusted text into downstream analysis systems. This issue has been patched in version 0.9.0.
