cel-go: JSON Private Fields Exposed via NativeTypes and ParseStructTag

GHSA-gcjh-h69q-9w9g

More information

Details

The function ext.NativeTypes(ParseStructTag("json")) does not honour the encoding/json skip directive json:"-". Fields tagged json:"-" are registered in the CEL type system under the literal name "-" and are readable from any user-submitted CEL expression via dyn(obj)["-"].

Additionally, newNativeTypes silently registers every nested struct reachable from the type passed to NativeTypes, including types from third-party dependencies the developer never examined.

Root cause

In fieldNameByTag, the helper used by ParseStructTag("json") to translate Go struct tags into CEL field names.

See at ext/native.go:146:

func fieldNameByTag(structTagToParse string) func(field reflect.StructField) string {
    return func(field reflect.StructField) string {
        tag, found := field.Tag.Lookup(structTagToParse)
        if found {
            splits := strings.Split(tag, ",")
            if len(splits) > 0 {
                // We make the assumption that the leftmost entry in the tag is the name.
                // This seems to be true for most tags that have the concept of a name/key, such as:
                // https://pkg.go.dev/encoding/xml#Marshal
                // https://pkg.go.dev/encoding/json#Marshal
                // https://pkg.go.dev/go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver/bson#hdr-Structs
                // https://pkg.go.dev/go.yaml.in/yaml/v3#Marshal
                name := splits[0]
                return name
            }
        }

        return field.Name
    }
}

For a field tagged json:"-", this code splits the tag into []string{"-"} and returns "-" as the CEL field name. It never checks whether "-" is the JSON skip sentinel.

This contradicts the encoding/json rule that the source comment explicitly points readers to:

As a special case, if the field tag is "-", the field is always omitted. Note
that a field with name "-" can still be generated using the tag "-,".

The public option also documents JSON-style parsing as the intended behavior.
See at ext/native.go:190:

// ParseStructTag configures the struct tag to parse. The 0th item in the tag is used as the name of the CEL field.
// For example:
// If the tag to parse is "cel" and the struct field has tag cel:"foo", the CEL struct field will be "foo".
// If the tag to parse is "json" and the struct field has tag json:"foo,omitempty", the CEL struct field will be "foo".
func ParseStructTag(tag string) NativeTypesOption {
    return func(ntp *nativeTypeOptions) error {
        ntp.fieldNameHandler = fieldNameByTag(tag)
        return nil
    }
}

A developer using ParseStructTag("json") is therefore led to expect encoding/json field-name semantics. Instead, json:"-" is treated as a real field name.

The bad name is accepted during native type construction. newNativeType checks for duplicate field names, but it does not reject or skip empty names or skip sentinels.

See at ext/native.go:663:

if fieldNameHandler != nil {
    fieldNames := make(map[string]struct{})

    for idx := 0; idx < refType.NumField(); idx++ {
        field := refType.Field(idx)
        fieldName := toFieldName(fieldNameHandler, field)

        if _, found := fieldNames[fieldName]; found {
            return nil, fmt.Errorf("invalid field name `%s` in struct `%s`: %w", fieldName, refType.Name(), errDuplicatedFieldName)
        } else {
            fieldNames[fieldName] = struct{}{}
        }
    }
}

Once accepted, the field becomes part of CEL's view of the type. Field enumeration reports it as a normal field name.

See at ext/native.go:286:

func (tp *nativeTypeProvider) FindStructFieldNames(typeName string) ([]string, bool) {
    if t, found := tp.nativeTypes[typeName]; found {
        fieldCount := t.refType.NumField()
        fields := make([]string, fieldCount)
        for i := 0; i < fieldCount; i++ {
            fields[i] = toFieldName(tp.options.fieldNameHandler, t.refType.Field(i))
        }
        return fields, true
    }
    if celTypeFields, found := tp.baseProvider.FindStructFieldNames(typeName); found {
        return celTypeFields, true
    }
    return tp.baseProvider.FindStructFieldNames(typeName)
}

Field lookup also treats the name as valid and returns the underlying Go field value.

See at ext/native.go:303:

func (tp *nativeTypeProvider) FindStructFieldType(typeName, fieldName string) (*types.FieldType, bool) {
    t, found := tp.nativeTypes[typeName]
    if !found {
        return tp.baseProvider.FindStructFieldType(typeName, fieldName)
    }
    refField, isDefined := t.hasField(fieldName)
    if !found || !isDefined {
        return nil, false
    }

    return &types.FieldType{
        IsSet: func(obj any) bool {
            refVal := reflect.Indirect(reflect.ValueOf(obj))
            refField := refVal.FieldByName(refField.Name)
            return !refField.IsZero()
        },
        GetFrom: func(obj any) (any, error) {
            refVal := reflect.Indirect(reflect.ValueOf(obj))
            refField := refVal.FieldByName(refField.Name)
            return getFieldValue(refField), nil
        },
    }, true
}

At runtime, native objects advertise index access.
See at ext/native.go:37:

var (
    nativeObjTraitMask = traits.FieldTesterType | traits.IndexerType
)

Because traits.IndexerType is present, a user expression can bypass ordinary field syntax and read the registered "-" field with bracket access:

dyn(req.auth)["-"]

The same mistaken name is also used when converting native objects to JSON-like CEL values. ConvertToNative(jsonStructType) iterates all Go struct fields, computes the CEL field name, and inserts it into the output map without applying the JSON skip rule.

See at ext/native.go:501:

case jsonStructType:
    refVal := reflect.Indirect(o.refValue)
    refType := refVal.Type()
    fields := make(map[string]*structpb.Value, refVal.NumField())
    for i := 0; i < refVal.NumField(); i++ {
        fieldType := refType.Field(i)
        fieldValue := refVal.Field(i)
        if !fieldValue.IsValid() || fieldValue.IsZero() {
            continue
        }
        fieldName := toFieldName(o.valType.fieldNameHandler, fieldType)
        fieldCELVal := o.NativeToValue(fieldValue.Interface())
        fieldJSONVal, err := fieldCELVal.ConvertToNative(jsonValueType)
        if err != nil {
            return nil, err
        }
        fields[fieldName] = fieldJSONVal.(*structpb.Value)
    }
    return &structpb.Struct{Fields: fields}, nil

This means a json:"-" secret is exposed in two ways: it can be read directly through CEL indexing as dyn(obj)["-"], and it can appear under the key "-" in JSON struct conversion output.

The blast radius is widened by newNativeTypes, which registers not only the type explicitly passed to NativeTypes, but also every nested struct reachable from its fields.

See at ext/native.go:609:

func newNativeTypes(fieldNameHandler NativeTypesFieldNameHandler, rawType reflect.Type) ([]*nativeType, error) {
    nt, err := newNativeType(fieldNameHandler, rawType)
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }
    result := []*nativeType{nt}

    var iterateStructMembers func(reflect.Type)
    iterateStructMembers = func(t reflect.Type) {
        if k := t.Kind(); k == reflect.Pointer || k == reflect.Slice || k == reflect.Array || k == reflect.Map {
            iterateStructMembers(t.Elem())
            return
        }
        if t.Kind() != reflect.Struct {
            return
        }

        nt, ntErr := newNativeType(fieldNameHandler, t)
        if ntErr != nil {
            err = ntErr
            return
        }
        result = append(result, nt)

        for idx := 0; idx < t.NumField(); idx++ {
            iterateStructMembers(t.Field(idx).Type)
        }
    }
    iterateStructMembers(rawType)

    return result, err
}

As a result, a developer can register one apparently safe request type while a nested dependency type is silently registered too. If that nested type contains a json:"-" secret, CEL still receives a readable field named "-" even though the developer never registered or audited that nested type directly.

Reproduction
package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "reflect"

    "github.com/google/cel-go/cel"
    "github.com/google/cel-go/ext"
)

// Simulates a library type; developer never registers this directly.
type AuthCtx struct {
    UserID string `json:"userId"`
    Secret string `json:"-"` // server-internal; never appears in JSON output
}

// Developer registers only this type.
type Req struct{ Auth AuthCtx `json:"auth"` }

func main() {
    env, _ := cel.NewEnv(
        // Only Req is passed; AuthCtx is registered silently by newNativeTypes.
        ext.NativeTypes(reflect.TypeOf(Req{}), ext.ParseStructTag("json")),
        cel.Variable("req", cel.ObjectType("main.Req")),
    )
    ast, _ := env.Compile(`dyn(req.auth)["-"]`)
    prg, _ := env.Program(ast)
    out, _, _ := prg.Eval(map[string]any{
        "req": Req{Auth: AuthCtx{UserID: "alice", Secret: "sk-live-s3cr3t"}},
    })
    fmt.Println(out) // sk-live-s3cr3t
}

Expected: expression compile error or empty result; json:"-" field should not be
accessible.
Actual: sk-live-s3cr3t; the server-injected secret is returned verbatim.

The same field is also included under key "-" in ConvertToNative(jsonStructType)
output, and appears in FindStructFieldNames enumeration.

path 1. CEL indexing

Tested against the released module github.com/google/cel-go v0.28.1
(latest stable release as of 2026-05-12), using the go.mod entry:

require github.com/google/cel-go v0.28.1

Running the PoC above (go run main.go) produces:

sk-live-s3cr3t

The secret value is returned verbatim, with no error at compile time or at runtime.

Path 2. ConvertToNative(jsonStructType)

When the nativeObj for the AuthCtx value is converted to a Protobuf Struct
(the representation used whenever CEL output is serialised to JSON), the
json:"-" field appears in the output map under the key "-".

package main

import (
    "encoding/json"
    "fmt"
    "reflect"

    "github.com/google/cel-go/cel"
    "github.com/google/cel-go/ext"

    structpb "google.golang.org/protobuf/types/known/structpb"
)

type AuthCtxConv struct {
    UserID string `json:"userId"`
    Secret string `json:"-"` // should never appear in JSON output
}

type ReqConv struct{ Auth AuthCtxConv `json:"auth"` }

func main() {
    env, _ := cel.NewEnv(
        ext.NativeTypes(reflect.TypeOf(ReqConv{}), ext.ParseStructTag("json")),
        cel.Variable("req", cel.ObjectType("main.ReqConv")),
    )

    ast, _ := env.Compile(`req.auth`)
    prg, _ := env.Program(ast)
    out, _, _ := prg.Eval(map[string]any{
        "req": ReqConv{Auth: AuthCtxConv{UserID: "alice", Secret: "sk-live-s3cr3t"}},
    })

    jsonStructType := reflect.TypeOf(&structpb.Struct{})
    raw, _ := out.ConvertToNative(jsonStructType)

    st := raw.(*structpb.Struct)
    b, _ := json.MarshalIndent(st.AsMap(), "", "  ")
    fmt.Printf("ConvertToNative(jsonStructType) output:\n%s\n", b)
    fmt.Printf("\nDirect field access via \"-\" key present: %v\n", st.Fields["-"] != nil)
    if v, ok := st.Fields["-"]; ok {
        fmt.Printf("Value: %s\n", v.GetStringValue())
    }
}

Running the PoC above produces:

ConvertToNative(jsonStructType) output:
{
  "-": "sk-live-s3cr3t",
  "userId": "alice"
}

Direct field access via "-" key present: true
Value: sk-live-s3cr3t

The "-" key is present in the serialised Protobuf struct alongside userId.
Any system that converts a CEL evaluation result to JSON (e.g. via structpb.Struct) will include the secret in the output, regardless of whether the dyn()["-"] indexing path is used.

Impact

Any user who can submit CEL expressions to an application that uses ext.NativeTypes(ParseStructTag("json")) can read struct fields that the developer explicitly marked json:"-" to keep out of serialised output. By writing dyn(obj)["-"], the attacker retrieves the raw Go field value, typically a secret, internal token, or private identifier, with no compile-time or runtime error. Because newNativeTypes silently registers every nested struct reachable from the root type, the attacker may also reach secrets in dependency types the developer never intended to expose to CEL.

Remediation

Do not treat json:"-" as a CEL field named "-". Model it as an explicit skipped field, not as an empty string field name.

Update the struct-tag parsing path so exact json:"-" returns “skip this field”, while json:"-," continues to mean the literal field name "-", matching encoding/json semantics.

Apply that skip decision consistently anywhere native fields are exposed or resolved:

  • duplicate-name validation in newNativeType
  • field enumeration in FindStructFieldNames
  • field type lookup in FindStructFieldType
  • runtime lookup in fieldByName / hasField
  • object construction in NewValue
  • JSON conversion in ConvertToNative(jsonStructType)

Apply the same omit handling for xml:"-", yaml:"-", and bson:"-" where ParseStructTag is used.

cel-go: JSON Private Fields Exposed via NativeTypes and ParseStructTag

In fieldNameByTag, the helper used by ParseStructTag("json") to translate Go struct tags into CEL field names.

See at ext/native.go:146:

func fieldNameByTag(structTagToParse string) func(field reflect.StructField) string {
    return func(field reflect.StructField) string {
        tag, found := field.Tag.Lookup(structTagToParse)
        if found {
            splits := strings.Split(tag, ",")
            if len(splits) > 0 {
                // We make the assumption that the leftmost entry in the tag is the name.
                // This seems to be true for most tags that have the concept of a name/key, such as:

                // https://pkg.go.dev/go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver/bson#hdr-Structs
                // https://pkg.go.dev/go.yaml.in/yaml/v3#Marshal
                name := splits[0]
                return name
            }
        }

        return field.Name
    }
}

For a field tagged json:"-", this code splits the tag into []string{"-"} and returns "-" as the CEL field name. It never checks whether "-" is the JSON skip sentinel.

// If the tag to parse is "json" and the struct field has tag json:"foo,omitempty", the CEL struct field will be "foo".
func ParseStructTag(tag string) NativeTypesOption {
    return func(ntp *nativeTypeOptions) error {
        ntp.fieldNameHandler = fieldNameByTag(tag)
        return nil
    }
}

        fieldName := toFieldName(fieldNameHandler, field)

        if _, found := fieldNames[fieldName]; found {
            return nil, fmt.Errorf("invalid field name `%s` in struct `%s`: %w", fieldName, refType.Name(), errDuplicatedFieldName)
        } else {
            fieldNames[fieldName] = struct{}{}
        }
    }
}

Once accepted, the field becomes part of CEL's view of the type. Field enumeration reports it as a normal field name.

See at ext/native.go:286:

func (tp *nativeTypeProvider) FindStructFieldNames(typeName string) ([]string, bool) {
    if t, found := tp.nativeTypes[typeName]; found {
        fieldCount := t.refType.NumField()
        fields := make([]string, fieldCount)
        for i := 0; i < fieldCount; i++ {
            fields[i] = toFieldName(tp.options.fieldNameHandler, t.refType.Field(i))
        }
        return fields, true
    }
    if celTypeFields, found := tp.baseProvider.FindStructFieldNames(typeName); found {
        return celTypeFields, true
    }
    return tp.baseProvider.FindStructFieldNames(typeName)
}

Field lookup also treats the name as valid and returns the underlying Go field value.

See at ext/native.go:303:

func (tp *nativeTypeProvider) FindStructFieldType(typeName, fieldName string) (*types.FieldType, bool) {
    t, found := tp.nativeTypes[typeName]
    if !found {
        return tp.baseProvider.FindStructFieldType(typeName, fieldName)
    }
    refField, isDefined := t.hasField(fieldName)
    if !found || !isDefined {
        return nil, false
    }

    return &types.FieldType{
        IsSet: func(obj any) bool {
            refVal := reflect.Indirect(reflect.ValueOf(obj))
            refField := refVal.FieldByName(refField.Name)
            return !refField.IsZero()
        },
        GetFrom: func(obj any) (any, error) {
            refVal := reflect.Indirect(reflect.ValueOf(obj))
            refField := refVal.FieldByName(refField.Name)
            return getFieldValue(refField), nil
        },
    }, true
}

At runtime, native objects advertise index access.

    nativeObjTraitMask = traits.FieldTesterType | traits.IndexerType

        fieldType := refType.Field(i)
        fieldValue := refVal.Field(i)

    }
    result := []*nativeType{nt}

    var iterateStructMembers func(reflect.Type)
    iterateStructMembers = func(t reflect.Type) {
        if k := t.Kind(); k == reflect.Pointer || k == reflect.Slice || k == reflect.Array || k == reflect.Map {
            iterateStructMembers(t.Elem())
            return
        }
        if t.Kind() != reflect.Struct {
            return
        }

        nt, ntErr := newNativeType(fieldNameHandler, t)
        if ntErr != nil {
            err = ntErr
            return

}

If that nested type contains a json:"-" secret, CEL still receives a readable field named "-" even though the developer never registered or audited that nested type directly.

        ext.NativeTypes(reflect.TypeOf(Req{}), ext.ParseStructTag("json")),
        cel.Variable("req", cel.ObjectType("main.Req")),
    )
    ast, _ := env.Compile(`dyn(req.auth)["-"]`)
    prg, _ := env.Program(ast)
    out, _, _ := prg.Eval(map[string]any{
        "req": Req{Auth: AuthCtx{UserID: "alice", Secret: "sk-live-s3cr3t"}},
    })
    fmt.Println(out) // sk-live-s3cr3t
}

Expected: expression compile error or empty result; json:"-" field should not be
accessible.
Actual: sk-live-s3cr3t; the server-injected secret is returned verbatim.

The same field is also included under key "-" in ConvertToNative(jsonStructType)
output, and appears in FindStructFieldNames enumeration.

path 1. CEL indexing

Tested against the released module github.com/google/cel-go v0.28.1
(latest stable release as of 2026-05-12), using the go.mod entry:

require github.com/google/cel-go v0.28.1

Running the PoC above (go run main.go) produces:

sk-live-s3cr3t

The secret value is returned verbatim, with no error at compile time or at runtime.

Path 2. ConvertToNative(jsonStructType)

When the nativeObj for the AuthCtx value is converted to a Protobuf Struct
(the representation used whenever CEL output is serialised to JSON), the
json:"-" field appears in the output map under the key "-".

package main

import (
    "encoding/json"
    "fmt"
    "reflect"

    "github.com/google/cel-go/cel"
    "github.com/google/cel-go/ext"

    structpb "google.golang.org/protobuf/types/known/structpb"
)

type AuthCtxConv struct {
    UserID string `json:"userId"`
    Secret string `json:"-"` // should never appear in JSON output
}

type ReqConv struct{ Auth AuthCtxConv `json:"auth"` }

func main() {
    env, _ := cel.NewEnv(
        ext.NativeTypes(reflect.TypeOf(ReqConv{}), ext.ParseStructTag("json")),
        cel.Variable("req", cel.ObjectType("main.ReqConv")),
    )

    ast, _ := env.Compile(`req.auth`)
    prg, _ := env.Program(ast)
    out, _, _ := prg.Eval(map[string]any{
        "req": ReqConv{Auth: AuthCtxConv{UserID: "alice", Secret: "sk-live-s3cr3t"}},
    })

    jsonStructType := reflect.TypeOf(&structpb.Struct{})
    raw, _ := out.ConvertToNative(jsonStructType)

    st := raw.(*structpb.Struct)
    b, _ := json.MarshalIndent(st.AsMap(), "", "  ")
    fmt.Printf("ConvertToNative(jsonStructType) output:\n%s\n", b)
    fmt.Printf("\nDirect field access via \"-\" key present: %v\n", st.Fields["-"] != nil)
    if v, ok := st.Fields["-"]; ok {
        fmt.Printf("Value: %s\n", v.GetStringValue())
    }
}

Running the PoC above produces:

ConvertToNative(jsonStructType) output:
{
  "-": "sk-live-s3cr3t",
  "userId": "alice"
}

Direct field access via "-" key present: true
Value: sk-live-s3cr3t

The "-" key is present in the serialised Protobuf struct alongside userId.
Any system that converts a CEL evaluation result to JSON (e.g. via structpb.Struct) will include the secret in the output, regardless of whether the dyn()["-"] indexing path is used.

Impact

Any user who can submit CEL expressions to an application that uses ext.NativeTypes(ParseStructTag("json")) can read struct fields that the developer explicitly marked json:"-" to keep out of serialised output. By writing dyn(obj)["-"], the attacker retrieves the raw Go field value, typically a secret, internal token, or private identifier, with no compile-time or runtime error. Because newNativeTypes silently registers every nested struct reachable from the root type, the attacker may also reach secrets in dependency types the developer never intended to expose to CEL.

Remediation

Do not treat json:"-" as a CEL field named "-". Model it as an explicit skipped field, not as an empty string field name.

Update the struct-tag parsing path so exact json:"-" returns “skip this field”, while json:"-," continues to mean the literal field name "-", matching encoding/json semantics.

Apply that skip decision consistently anywhere native fields are exposed or resolved:

  • duplicate-name validation in newNativeType
  • field enumeration in FindStructFieldNames
  • field type lookup in FindStructFieldType
  • runtime lookup in fieldByName / hasField
  • object construction in NewValue
  • JSON conversion in ConvertToNative(jsonStructType)

Apply the same omit handling for xml:"-", yaml:"-", and bson:"-" where ParseStructTag is used.

OpenTelemetry-Go: Exporter config logging may leak endpoint URLs in info logs

CVE-2026-81870 / GHSA-8wmf-6v46-5gfg

More information

Details

Summary

OpenTelemetry Go versions 1.5.0 through 1.44.0 can include trace exporter endpoint configuration in an internal diagnostic log emitted when an SDK TracerProvider is created. The default OpenTelemetry logger does not emit this event. Exposure requires an application to install a logger that enables OpenTelemetry's internal Info-level diagnostics and for someone other than the intended audience to have access to those logs.

The logged configuration can disclose the address of the trace collector and whether the OTLP/HTTP connection is configured as insecure. The Zipkin exporter logs its complete collector URL, so credentials in URL userinfo or tokens in the query string are also disclosed if an application embeds them there. OTLP authentication headers, TLS key material, and exported span data are not included in this log.

Exporter MarshalLog implementations that caused this configuration to be included in internal logs were introduced by a1fff3c.

Details

When sdk/trace.NewTracerProvider constructs a provider, it records a TracerProvider created internal Info event containing the provider configuration. In affected versions, the configuration's MarshalLog methods recursively include:

  1. the provider's span processors;
  2. each processor's span exporter; and
  3. for the OTLP trace exporter, its client configuration.

This causes the following values to be present in the event:

  • OTLP trace gRPC: the configured endpoint;
  • OTLP trace HTTP: the configured endpoint and the Insecure flag; and
  • Zipkin: the complete collector URL.

OpenTelemetry Go does not emit this event with its default logger, which only emits errors. An application must explicitly configure a sufficiently verbose logger with otel.SetLogger. The required logr verbosity is version-dependent:

  • versions 1.5.0 through 1.14.x use V(1) for this Info event; and
  • versions 1.15.0 through 1.44.0 use V(4).

OTLP header configuration is not part of the marshaled object, so credentials supplied with WithHeaders or the corresponding environment variables are not exposed. The documented OTLP WithEndpoint input is a collector address rather than a credential-bearing URL. The higher-risk case is therefore the Zipkin collector URL, which is retained and logged in full, or an application passing sensitive data in an OTLP endpoint outside the documented format.

Proof of concept

The following program demonstrates the behavior with OpenTelemetry Go 1.44.0. It deliberately places credentials and a token in the Zipkin collector URL and enables internal Info logging:

package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"context"
	"fmt"

	"github.com/go-logr/logr/funcr"
	"go.opentelemetry.io/otel"
	"go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/zipkin"
	sdktrace "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace"
)

func main() {
	var logs bytes.Buffer
	otel.SetLogger(funcr.New(func(_, args string) {
		_, _ = logs.WriteString(args)
	}, funcr.Options{Verbosity: 4}))

	exporter, err := zipkin.New(
		"http://user:pass@zipkin.internal:9411/api/v2/spans?token=secret",
	)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	tp := sdktrace.NewTracerProvider(sdktrace.WithBatcher(exporter))
	_ = tp.Shutdown(context.Background())

	fmt.Println(logs.String())
}

The TracerProvider created event contains:

http://user:pass@zipkin.internal:9411/api/v2/spans?token=secret

For versions before 1.15.0, set funcr.Options{Verbosity: 1} instead.

Impact

This is a conditional disclosure through application logs. Affected applications must enable verbose OpenTelemetry internal diagnostics and configure a trace exporter containing information they do not intend to expose to readers of those logs. In that configuration, a person or system with log access can learn the trace collector address and internal network topology. If credentials or tokens are embedded directly in a Zipkin collector URL, those values can also be recovered from the logs.

There is no exposure with the default OpenTelemetry logger, and the vulnerable log is generated from local application configuration rather than remotely supplied span data. OTLP authentication headers, certificate or private-key contents, and telemetry payloads are not logged by this path.

Remediation

Upgrade the affected OpenTelemetry Go modules to version 1.45.0 or later. The fix in 3a1412d stops recursively marshaling exporter and client configuration and records their types instead.

If an immediate upgrade is not possible:

  • keep OpenTelemetry internal logging below the Info verbosity described above;
  • do not embed credentials or tokens in exporter endpoint URLs; use authentication headers or another supported credential mechanism; and
  • restrict access to existing logs and rotate any credentials that may already have been recorded.

OpenTelemetry Go SDK Vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution via PATH Hijacking

CVE-2026-24051 / GHSA-9h8m-3fm2-qjrq

More information

Details

Impact

The OpenTelemetry Go SDK in version v1.20.0-1.39.0 is vulnerable to Path Hijacking (Untrusted Search Paths) on macOS/Darwin systems. The resource detection code in sdk/resource/host_id.go executes the ioreg system command using a search path. An attacker with the ability to locally modify the PATH environment variable can achieve Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE) within the context of the application.

Patches

This has been patched in d45961b, which was released with v1.40.0.

opentelemetry-go: BSD kenv command not using absolute path enables PATH hijacking

CVE-2026-39883 / GHSA-hfvc-g4fc-pqhx

More information

Details

Summary

The fix for GHSA-9h8m-3fm2-qjrq (CVE-2026-24051) changed the Darwin ioreg command to use an absolute path but left the BSD kenv command using a bare name, allowing the same PATH hijacking attack on BSD and Solaris platforms.

Root Cause

sdk/resource/host_id.go line 42:

if result, err := r.execCommand("kenv", "-q", "smbios.system.uuid"); err == nil {

Compare with the fixed Darwin path at line 58:

result, err := r.execCommand("/usr/sbin/ioreg", "-rd1", "-c", "IOPlatformExpertDevice")

The execCommand helper at sdk/resource/host_id_exec.go uses exec.Command(name, arg...) which searches $PATH when the command name contains no path separator.

Affected platforms (per build tag in host_id_bsd.go:4): DragonFly BSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris.

The kenv path is reached when /etc/hostid does not exist (line 38-40), which is common on FreeBSD systems.

Attack
  1. Attacker has local access to a system running a Go application that imports go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk
  2. Attacker places a malicious kenv binary earlier in $PATH
  3. Application initializes OpenTelemetry resource detection at startup
  4. hostIDReaderBSD.read() calls exec.Command("kenv", ...) which resolves to the malicious binary
  5. Arbitrary code executes in the context of the application

Same attack vector and impact as CVE-2026-24051.

Suggested Fix

Use the absolute path:

if result, err := r.execCommand("/bin/kenv", "-q", "smbios.system.uuid"); err == nil {

On FreeBSD, kenv is located at /bin/kenv.

Hi @ospk8s-renovate[bot]. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a openstack-k8s-operators member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work.

Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.
