SCA: security update for io.opentelemetry:opentelemetry-api, io.opentelemetry:opentelemetry-extension-trace-propagators (GHSA-rcgg-9c38-7xpx)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 441857

Description

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

 - opentelemetry-java is the Java implementation of the OpenTelemetry API for recording telemetry, and SDK
 for managing telemetry recorded by the API. Prior to 1.62.0, a vulnerability affects the baggage
 propagation implementation in opentelemetry-api and opentelemetry-extension-trace-propagators. Parsing
 oversized baggage causes unbounded memory allocation and CPU consumption. Because baggage is automatically
 re-injected into every outgoing request, the effect can fan out to downstream services that never received
 the original malicious request. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.62.0. (CVE-2026-45292)

Solution

Update the io.opentelemetry:opentelemetry-api library and its related packages to version 1.62.0 or later.
