 - OpenTelemetry JavaScript is the OpenTelemetry JavaScript client. Prior to 2.9.0,
 @opentelemetry/propagator-jaeger decodes incoming uber-trace-id and uberctx-* HTTP header values with
 decodeURIComponent() without handling decode errors, allowing an unauthenticated remote attacker to send a
 malformed percent-encoded value that throws an uncaught URIError and terminates a Node.js process using
 JaegerPropagator as the active propagator. This issue is fixed in version 2.9.0. (CVE-2026-59892)
