Doc Text:
A flaw was found in OpenTelemetry-Go. The otlp HTTP exporters read the full HTTP response body into an in-memory buffer without a size cap. A remote attacker, by controlling the collector endpoint or performing a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack on the exporter connection, can exploit this to cause memory exhaustion. This vulnerability can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) for the affected system.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-04-08 21:02:27 UTC 
OpenTelemetry-Go is the Go implementation of OpenTelemetry. Prior to 1.43.0, the otlp HTTP exporters (traces/metrics/logs) read the full HTTP response body into an in-memory bytes.Buffer without a size cap. This is exploitable for memory exhaustion when the configured collector endpoint is attacker-controlled (or a network attacker can mitm the exporter connection). This vulnerability is fixed in 1.43.0.
