SCA: security update for opentelemetry-propagator-jaeger (GHSA-f5m9-jfrj-jjj7)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 477692

Description

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

- OpenTelemetry Python provides the Python API and SDK for OpenTelemetry. Prior to 1.45.0,
JaegerPropagator.extract() in opentelemetry-propagator-jaeger processes inbound uberctx-* baggage values
without entry, per-entry byte, or total-byte limits. Services that enable the optional Jaeger propagator
can perform unnecessary CPU work and short-lived heap allocations when an untrusted carrier supplies
numerous or oversized values, contributing to denial of service when transport-level limits do not
constrain the input. Common default Python HTTP server limits reduce the practical impact, while custom
getters, non-HTTP transports, or raised header limits increase exposure. This issue is fixed in version
1.45.0. (CVE-2026-116694)

Solution

Update the opentelemetry-propagator-jaeger library and its related packages to version 1.45.0 or later.
