Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-42602 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/extension/azureauthextension (Go): affected from 0.124.0 up to 0.150.0; no fix listed\n- github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/extension/azureauthextension (Go): affected from 0.124.0 up to 0.150.0; no fix listed\n- github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/extension/azureauthextension (Go): affected from 0.124.0; fixed in 0.151.0\n\nTask:\n1. 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.\n2. 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.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-42602/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-42602/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-42602","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-42602/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-42602","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pjv4-3c63-699f","GO-2026-5544","MINI-24cw-5m99-p29q","MINI-7hpc-cqrm-4fg4","MINI-c286-jr9c-h98x","MINI-x4g4-rmjv-6c9c"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"OpenTelemetry collector extension","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can bypass authentication in OpenTelemetry collectors by replaying valid Azure tokens for any scope, gaining unauthorized access to receivers.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"opentelemetry_collector_contrib","vendor":"opentelemetry"}],"cvss":{"score":8.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-347","name":"Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature"},{"id":"CWE-294","name":"Authentication Bypass by Capture-replay"},{"id":"CWE-290","name":"Authentication Bypass by Spoofing"},{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"},{"id":"CWE-208","name":"Observable Timing Discrepancy"}],"description":"azureauthextension is the Azure Authenticator Extension. From 0.124.0 to 0.150.0, a server-side authentication bypass in azureauthextension allows any party who holds a single valid Azure access token for any scope the collector's configured identity can mint for to authenticate to any OpenTelemetry receiver that uses auth: azure_auth. The extension's Authenticate method does not validate incoming bearer tokens as JWTs. Instead, it calls its own configured credential to obtain an access token and compares the client's token to the result with string equality — and the scope for that server-side token request is taken from the client-supplied Host header. As a result, a token minted for any Azure resource the service principal has ever been issued a token for (ARM, Graph, Key Vault, Storage, etc.) will authenticate to the collector if the attacker picks a matching Host. Tokens are replayable for the full issued lifetime (commonly several hours for managed identity tokens).","ecosystems":["Go"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"azureauthextension Authenticate method does not validate bearer tokens, allowing auth bypass via replay","id":"CVE-2026-42602","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Go","product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2026"},"n_packages":3,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"OWASP BLT: pre-commit-fix.yaml executes untrusted fork code via pull_request_target","id":"CVE-2026-42603"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":[],"introduced":["0.124.0"],"last_affected":["0.150.0"],"package":"github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/extension/azureauthextension","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-pjv4-3c63-699f"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":[],"introduced":["0.124.0"],"last_affected":["0.150.0"],"package":"github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/extension/azureauthextension","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/extension/azureauthextension","source":"GHSA-pjv4-3c63-699f"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["0.151.0"],"introduced":["0.124.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/extension/azureauthextension","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/extension/azureauthextension","source":"GO-2026-5544"}],"prev":{"headline":"ArchiveBox Vulnerable to RCE via unvalidated per-crawl config overrides in AddView","id":"CVE-2026-42601"},"products":["opentelemetry-collector-contrib"],"published":"2026-05-13","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"Go Vulnerability Database","prefix":"GO"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-05-14","vendors":["open-telemetry"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass authentication in OpenTelemetry collectors by replaying valid Azure tokens for any scope, gaining unauthorized access to receivers.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-42602/"}
