opentelemetry-go: OTLP HTTP exporters read unbounded HTTP response bodies

CVE-2026-39882 / GHSA-w8rr-5gcm-pp58

More information

Details

overview:
this report shows that 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).

severity

HIGH

not claiming: this is a remote dos against every default deployment.
claiming: if the exporter sends traces to an untrusted collector endpoint (or over a network segment where mitm is realistic), that endpoint can crash the process via a large response body.

callsite (pinned):

  • exporters/otlp/otlptrace/otlptracehttp/client.go:199
  • exporters/otlp/otlptrace/otlptracehttp/client.go:230
  • exporters/otlp/otlpmetric/otlpmetrichttp/client.go:170
  • exporters/otlp/otlpmetric/otlpmetrichttp/client.go:201
  • exporters/otlp/otlplog/otlploghttp/client.go:190
  • exporters/otlp/otlplog/otlploghttp/client.go:221

permalinks (pinned):

root cause:
each exporter client reads resp.Body using io.Copy(&respData, resp.Body) into a bytes.Buffer on both success and error paths, with no upper bound.

impact:
a malicious collector can force large transient heap allocations during export (peak memory scales with attacker-chosen response size) and can potentially crash the instrumented process (oom).

affected component:

  • go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlptrace/otlptracehttp
  • go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlpmetric/otlpmetrichttp
  • go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlplog/otlploghttp

repro (local-only):

unzip poc.zip -d poc
cd poc
make canonical resp_bytes=33554432 chunk_delay_ms=0

expected output contains:

[CALLSITE_HIT]: otlptracehttp.UploadTraces::io.Copy(resp.Body)
[PROOF_MARKER]: resp_bytes=33554432 peak_alloc_bytes=118050512

control (same env, patched target):

unzip poc.zip -d poc
cd poc
make control resp_bytes=33554432 chunk_delay_ms=0

expected control output contains:

[CALLSITE_HIT]: otlptracehttp.UploadTraces::io.Copy(resp.Body)
[NC_MARKER]: resp_bytes=33554432 peak_alloc_bytes=512232

Added

  • Add IsRandom and WithRandom on TraceFlags, and IsRandom on SpanContext in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace
    for W3C Trace Context Level 2 Random Trace ID Flag support. (#​8012)
  • Add service detection with WithService in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/resource. (#​7642)
  • Add DefaultWithContext and EnvironmentWithContext in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/resource to support plumbing context.Context through default and environment detectors. (#​8051)
  • Support attributes with empty value (attribute.EMPTY) in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlptrace/otlptracegrpc. (#​8038)
  • Support attributes with empty value (attribute.EMPTY) in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlpmetric/otlpmetricgrpc. (#​8038)
  • Support attributes with empty value (attribute.EMPTY) in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlplog/otlploggrpc. (#​8038)
  • Support attributes with empty value (attribute.EMPTY) in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlptrace/otlptracehttp. (#​8038)
  • Support attributes with empty value (attribute.EMPTY) in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlpmetric/otlpmetrichttp. (#​8038)
  • Support attributes with empty value (attribute.EMPTY) in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlplog/otlploghttp. (#​8038)
  • Support attributes with empty value (attribute.EMPTY) in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric/metricdata/metricdatatest. (#​8038)
  • Add support for per-series start time tracking for cumulative metrics in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric.
    Set OTEL_GO_X_PER_SERIES_START_TIMESTAMPS=true to enable. (#​8060)
  • Add WithCardinalityLimitSelector for metric reader for configuring cardinality limits specific to the instrument kind. (#​7855)

Changed

  • Introduce the EMPTY Type in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/attribute to reflect that an empty value is now a valid value, with INVALID remaining as a deprecated alias of EMPTY. (#​8038)
  • Refactor slice handling in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/attribute to optimize short slice values with fixed-size fast paths. (#​8039)
  • Improve performance of span metric recording in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace by returning early if self-observability is not enabled. (#​8067)
  • Improve formatting of metric data diffs in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric/metricdata/metricdatatest. (#​8073)

Deprecated

  • Deprecate INVALID in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/attribute. Use EMPTY instead. (#​8038)

Fixed

  • Return spec-compliant TraceIdRatioBased description. This is a breaking behavioral change, but it is necessary to
    make the implementation spec-compliant. (#​8027)
  • Fix a race condition in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric where the lastvalue aggregation could collect the value 0 even when no zero-value measurements were recorded. (#​8056)
  • Limit HTTP response body to 4 MiB in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlptrace/otlptracehttp to mitigate excessive memory usage caused by a misconfigured or malicious server.
    Responses exceeding the limit are treated as non-retryable errors. (#​8108)

    Responses exceeding the limit are treated as non-retryable errors. (#​8108)
  • Limit HTTP response body to 4 MiB in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlplog/otlploghttp to mitigate excessive memory usage caused by a misconfigured or malicious server.
    Responses exceeding the limit are treated as non-retryable errors. (#​8108)
  • WithHostID detector in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/resource to use full path for kenv command on BSD. (#​8113)
  • Fix missing request.GetBody in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlplog/otlploghttp to correctly handle HTTP2 GOAWAY frame. (#​8096)
