OpenTelemetry-Go is the Go implementation of OpenTelemetry. The OpenTelemetry Go SDK in version v1.20.0-1.39.0 is vulnerable to Path Hijacking (Untrusted Search Paths) on macOS/Darwin systems. The resource detection code in sdk/resource/host_id.go executes the ioreg system command using a search path. An attacker with the ability to locally modify the PATH environment variable can achieve Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE) within the context of the application. A fix was released with v1.40.0.
AnalysisAI
Arbitrary code execution in OpenTelemetry Go SDK versions 1.20.0 through 1.39.0 on macOS results from insecure PATH resolution when executing the ioreg system command during resource detection. A local attacker with the ability to modify the PATH environment variable can hijack the command search path and execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the affected application. …
