DescriptionCVE.org

OpenTelemetry-Go is the Go implementation of OpenTelemetry. From version 1.5.0 to 1.44.0, sdk/trace.NewTracerProvider emits a TracerProvider created internal Info-level diagnostic event whose MarshalLog implementations recursively include span processor, exporter, and client configuration. Applications that call otel.SetLogger to enable OpenTelemetry internal Info logging can therefore record OTLP gRPC and HTTP collector endpoints, the OTLP HTTP Insecure flag, and complete Zipkin collector URLs. A person or system with access to those logs can learn internal collector topology and can recover credentials or tokens embedded in Zipkin URL user information or query strings. The default OpenTelemetry logger does not emit the event, and this path does not log OTLP authentication headers, TLS key material, or span payloads. This issue is fixed in version 1.45.0.

AnalysisAI

OpenTelemetry-Go versions 1.5.0 through 1.44.0 can write sensitive collector configuration into an application's own logs when the application explicitly opts into internal diagnostic logging through otel.SetLogger at Info verbosity: the TracerProvider created event serializes span processor, exporter, and client configuration, exposing OTLP gRPC and HTTP collector endpoints, the OTLP HTTP Insecure flag, and complete Zipkin collector URLs. Anyone able to read those logs - local files, aggregated log stores, or a SIEM - can reconstruct internal collector topology and can recover credentials or tokens where operators embedded them in Zipkin URL user-info or query strings. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires the application to have explicitly called otel.SetLogger to enable OpenTelemetry internal Info-level logging - the default OpenTelemetry logger does NOT emit the diagnostic event, so default configurations are unaffected. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a genuine but very low-severity information-disclosure issue, and the signals agree: vendor CVSS 4.0 base score is 2.0 (AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L only), CWE-200. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Vendor-released patch: upgrade to OpenTelemetry-Go sdk/v1.45.0 and exporters/zipkin/v1.45.0 (matched module releases for the otlptrace, otlptracegrpc, and otlptracehttp exporters), which correspond to PR #8438 / commit 3a1412d2b3bc4e4231fbeac2ed42117ae541bb38 and remove endpoint, Insecure, and Zipkin URL data from the marshaled log output; run go get -u go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk@v1.45.0 and go get -u go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/zipkin@v1.45.0, then verify no dependency graph still resolves an older otel module. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Threat intelligence, references, and detailed analysis are available after sign-in.
