CVE-2026-45685 Details
Description
OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation provides eBPF instrumentation based on the OpenTelemetry standard. From version 0.1.0 to before version 0.9.0, malformed MongoDB wire messages can trigger uncaught panics in the MongoDB TCP parser, allowing a remote unauthenticated attacker to crash the telemetry agent and cause a denial of service. The parser operates on raw attacker-controlled network payloads before the input is fully validated, so a single crafted message can terminate telemetry collection for the affected process or node. This issue has been patched in version 0.9.0.
A denial-of-service vulnerability has been identified in the OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation MongoDB parser, present in versions 0.1.0 prior to 0.9.0. The issue arises when malformed MongoDB wire messages are processed, leading to uncaught panics that crash the telemetry agent. This vulnerability allows remote, unauthenticated attackers to disrupt telemetry collection by sending crafted messages that exploit the parser's lack of input validation, causing a process termination that requires a manual restart.
Users can upgrade to OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation version 0.9.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
