medgithub_advisoriesPublished 2026-07-29

GHSA-fq3f-m5qm-99f5 Severity: medium CVE: CVE-2026-54712

OpenTelemetry Javaagent RMI context propagation allows resource exhaustion

The RMI context propagation payload reader limits the number of context entries but does not limit the aggregate size of the strings read from the stream.

An attacker who can reach an RMI endpoint on an instrumented JVM can send an oversized context propagation pay
