CVE-2026-24051 is a high-severity command injection vulnerability in open-telemetry opentelemetry-go, published on 2 Feb 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim. ### Official description OpenTelemetry-Go is the Go implementation of OpenTelemetry. 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. A fix was released with v1.40.0. Weakness: CWE-426 (Untrusted Search Path) ## Which versions are affected by CVE-2026-24051? 3 open source packages ship an affected version, including go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk. It affects 1 product. | Package | Ecosystem | Affected | Fixed in | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk` | Go | From 1.21.0 | 1.40.0 | | `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk` | Go | From 1.21.0 | 1.40.0 | | `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk` | Go | From 1.21.0 | 1.40.0 | | `copacetic` | openSUSE:Tumbleweed | All versions | 0.14.0-1.1 | Products: Opentelemetry Opentelemetry. ## How do I fix CVE-2026-24051? Upgrade go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk to 1.40.0 or later. ## Is CVE-2026-24051 being exploited? There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-24051 in the wild and no public exploit code. ## Other vulnerabilities in open-telemetry opentelemetry-go - [CVE-2026-29181](https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-29181/): OpenTelemetry-Go multi-value `baggage` header extraction causes excessive allocations (remote dos amplification) (high 7.5) - [CVE-2023-47108](https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-47108/): DoS vulnerability in otelgrpc (uncontrolled resource consumption) due to unbound cardinality metrics (high 7.5) - [CVE-2023-45142](https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-45142/): OpenTelemetry-Go Contrib has DoS vulnerability in otelhttp due to unbound cardinality metrics (high 7.5) - [CVE-2023-43810](https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-43810/): opentelemetry-instrumentation Denial of Service vulnerability due to unbound cardinality metrics (high 7.5) - [CVE-2026-39883](https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-39883/): opentelemetry-go: BSD kenv command not using absolute path enables PATH hijacking (high 7.3) ## Fix prompt for AI coding agents ```text Check this codebase for CVE-2026-24051 and fix it if it is affected. What it is: CVE-2026-24051 is a high-severity command injection vulnerability in open-telemetry opentelemetry-go, published on 2 Feb 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim. Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-24051 in the wild and no public exploit code. Affected packages and fixed versions: - go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk (Go): affected from 1.21.0; fixed in 1.40.0 - go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk (Go): affected from 1.21.0; fixed in 1.40.0 - go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk (Go): affected from 1.21.0; fixed in 1.40.0 Task: 1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies. 2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it. 3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead. 4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why. 5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
