SCA: security update for go.opentelemetry.io/otel/bridge/opentracing (GHSA-42cj-99w8-cp2p)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 446158

Description

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

- OpenTelemetry-Go is the Go implementation of OpenTelemetry. From version 0.11.0 through 1.44.0, the
OpenTracing bridge's bridgeSpan contains an unsynchronized extraBaggageItems map which can cause a panic.
Because Go maps are not safe for concurrent read/write access, concurrent SetBaggageItem and
correlation.MapFromContext calls on the same hooked bridgeSpan can trigger a fatal runtime error—such as
concurrent map read and map write or concurrent map iteration and map write—terminating the process and
causing denial of service. This issue is fixed in version 1.45.0. (CVE-2026-45404)

Solution

Update the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/bridge/opentracing library and its related packages to version 1.45.0 or later.
