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.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.0},"cwes":["CWE-426"],"references":["https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go/commit/d45961bcda453fcbdb6469c22d6e88a1f9970a53","https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go/security/advisories/GHSA-9h8m-3fm2-qjrq"],"products":["opentelemetry:opentelemetry"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:22:27.261130201+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-24051","score":0.00179,"percentile":0.07379,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-9h8m-3fm2-qjrq","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-9h8m-3fm2-qjrq","summary":"OpenTelemetry Go SDK Vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution via PATH Hijacking","modified":"2026-09-10T03:50:34.801777790Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk","purl":"pkg:golang/go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk","ranges":[">=1.21.0 <1.40.0"],"fixed":["1.40.0"]}]},{"id":"GO-2026-4394","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GO-2026-4394","summary":"OpenTelemetry Go SDK Vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution via PATH Hijacking in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk","modified":"2026-02-28T14:43:58.883863Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk","purl":"pkg:golang/go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk","ranges":[">=1.21.0 <1.40.0"],"fixed":["1.40.0"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
