OpenTelemetry .NET has Denial of Service (DoS) Vulnerability in API Package
Impact
What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?
A vulnerability in OpenTelemetry.Api package 1.10.0 to 1.11.1 could cause a Denial of Service (DoS) when a tracestate and traceparent header is received.
- Even if an application does not explicitly use trace context propagation, receiving these headers can still trigger high CPU usage.
- This issue impacts any application accessible over the web or backend services that process HTTP requests containing a
tracestateheader. - Application may experience excessive resource consumption, leading to increased latency, degraded performance, or downtime.
Patches
Has the problem been patched? What versions should users upgrade to?
This issue has been resolved in OpenTelemetry.Api 1.11.2 by reverting the change that introduced the problematic behavior in versions 1.10.0 to 1.11.1.

| OpenTelemetry .NET Version | Status |
|---|---|
| <= 1.9.x | ✅ Not affected |
| 1.10.0 - 1.11.1 | ❌ Vulnerable |
| 1.11.2 (Fixed) | ✅ Safe to use |
