SCA: security update for go.opentelemetry.io/obi (GHSA-8gmg-3w2q-65f4)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 440603

Description

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

 - OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation provides eBPF instrumentation based on the OpenTelemetry standard. From
 0.4.0 to before 0.8.0, a flaw in the Java agent injection path allows a local attacker controlling a Java
 workload to overwrite arbitrary host files when Java injection is enabled and OBI is running with elevated
 privileges. The injector trusted TMPDIR from the target process and used unsafe file creation semantics,
 enabling both filesystem boundary escape and symlink-based file clobbering. This vulnerability is fixed in
 0.8.0. (CVE-2026-41433)

Solution

Update the go.opentelemetry.io/obi library and its related packages to version 0.8.0 or later.
