SCA: security update for @opentelemetry/core (GHSA-8988-4f7v-96qf)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 443235

Description

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

 - opentelemetry-js is the OpenTelemetry JavaScript Client. Prior to 2.8.0, W3CBaggagePropagator.extract() in
 @opentelemetry/core does not enforce size limits when parsing inbound baggage HTTP headers. The W3C
 Baggage specification recommends a maximum of 8,192 bytes and 180 entries; these limits were only enforced
 on the outbound (inject()) path, not on the inbound (extract()) path. Parsing oversized baggage causes
 memory allocation proportional to the header size without any cap. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.8.0.
 (CVE-2026-54285)

Solution

Update the @opentelemetry/core library and its related packages to version 2.8.0 or later.
