Summary
The Zipkin exporter remote endpoint cache accepted unbounded key growth derived from span attributes. In high-cardinality scenarios, this could increase process memory usage over time and degrade availability.
Details
- Introduce a bounded, thread-safe LRU cache for remote endpoints.
- Enforce fixed maximum size to prevent unbounded growth.
Impact
- A process using Zipkin export for client/producer spans could experience avoidable memory growth under sustained unique remote endpoint values.

AnalysisAI
OpenTelemetry's Zipkin exporter for .NET allows unauthenticated remote attackers to trigger denial of service by sending spans with high-cardinality remote endpoint attributes, causing unbounded memory growth in the remote endpoint cache and eventual process degradation. CVSS 5.3 (network-accessible, low complexity). …
