SCA: security update for go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/google.golang.org/grpc/otelgrpc (GHSA-8pgv-569h-w5rw)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 412784

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - OpenTelemetry-Go Contrib is a collection of third-party packages for OpenTelemetry-Go. Starting in version
 0.37.0 and prior to version 0.46.0, the grpc Unary Server Interceptor out of the box adds labels
 `net.peer.sock.addr` and `net.peer.sock.port` that have unbound cardinality. It leads to the server's
 potential memory exhaustion when many malicious requests are sent. An attacker can easily flood the peer
 address and port for requests. Version 0.46.0 contains a fix for this issue. As a workaround to stop being
 affected, a view removing the attributes can be used. The other possibility is to disable grpc metrics
 instrumentation by passing `otelgrpc.WithMeterProvider` option with `noop.NewMeterProvider`.
 (CVE-2023-47108)
