SCA: security update for @opentelemetry/auto-instrumentations-node, @opentelemetry/exporter-prometheus, @opentelemetry/sdk-node (GHSA-q7rr-3cgh-j5r3)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 476202

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 0.217.0, a single malformed HTTP request
 crashes any Node.js process running the OpenTelemetry JS Prometheus exporter. The metrics endpoint
 (default 0.0.0.0:9464) has no error handling around URL parsing, so a request with an invalid URI causes
 an uncaught TypeError that terminates the process. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.217.0.
 (CVE-2026-44902)

Solution

Update the @opentelemetry/exporter-prometheus library and its related packages to version 0.217.0 or later.
