chore(deps): update dependency charset-normalizer to v3.5.2 by renovate[bot] · Pull Request #386 · Djaytan/docker-papermc-server

Changed

Raised the Cython upper bound to <3.4 for native builds. The bound remains <3.3 for
abi3 builds to preserve compatibility with the Python 3.7 Limited API.

Fixed

Valid UTF-8 Chinese JSON incorrectly detected as PTCP154 due to excessive noise penalties
for uncommon CJK characters. (#796)
Supported encodings without aliases failing name resolution or being ignored in charset
declarations. (#800)

`v3.5.1`

Changed

Raised upper bound of setuptools to v84 (#794)
Cache performance access optimization for our CharInfo struct (prebuilt only).

Fixed

No longer decoding large content when the noise detector output give a high entropy.
Only impacted large content input >1M bytes.

`v3.5.0`

Added

Explicit support for Python 3.15

Fixed

Comparing a CharsetMatch to a non-alias encoding strings (#773)
Return 0.0 CharsetMatch.multi_byte_usage for empty payloads instead of crashing (#774)
A file with both a charset declaration and BOM/SIG did not verify first the BOM/SIG charset.
iso2022* cases misdetected due to a flaw in our multibyte chunking logic.

Changed

Replaced the optional mypyc build with Cython extensions while retaining the
pure Python fallback. The previous engine (mypyc) started to hit rough limit around
the optimization of our noise/coherence detector while Cython allows us to
steer the engine toward the right generated optimized sources.
This change SHOULD not impact bundler (e.g. Pyinstaller) as the module are
immediately discoverable (i.e. not hidden import like mypyc did).
Moreover, a long wished distribution is the abi3 wheels, this will allow us
to no longer rush each year when a new Python interpreter is released.
We still distribute the interpreter specific wheels for faster performance.
Applied micro-optimization on several utils.
CharsetMatches no longer sort on each match insertion.

Misc

Removed an old performance optimization attempt in apy.py (success_fast_tracked+payload_result_cache).

`v3.4.9`

Fixed

Regression in our fallback path leading to a decode error. (#771)
We've yanked 3.4.8 as a result of that bug.

`v3.4.8`

Fixed

Wall import time due to cascade codec imports for our multibyte first sort of iana supported codecs (#742)
Unnecessary json import at runtime (#753)
Inverse capitalization not seen by noise detector (#731)

Changed

No longer holding a global cache for our noise / coherence measurements. Relax RSS memory usage.
Micro-optimizations in our noise / coherence measurements.
No longer using regex search by default for our preemptive charset mark algorithm.
Raised upperbound of setuptools to v83.
Raised upperbound of mypy(c) to v2.1.

Removed

Redundant UTF7 BOM marker (#730)

`v3.4.7`

Changed

Pre-built optimized version using mypy[c] v1.20.
Relax setuptools constraint to setuptools>=68,<82.1.

Fixed

Correctly remove SIG remnant in utf-7 decoded string. (#718) (#716)

`v3.4.6`

Changed

Flattened the logic in charset_normalizer.md for higher performance. Removed eligible(..) and feed(...)
in favor of feed_info(...).
Raised upper bound for mypy[c] to 1.20, for our optimized version.
Updated UNICODE_RANGES_COMBINED using Unicode blocks v17.

Fixed

Edge case where noise difference between two candidates can be almost insignificant. (#672)
CLI --normalize writing to wrong path when passing multiple files in. (#702)

Misc

Freethreaded pre-built wheels now shipped in PyPI starting with 3.14t. (#616)

`v3.4.5`

Changed

Update setuptools constraint to setuptools>=68,<=82.
Raised upper bound of mypyc for the optional pre-built extension to v1.19.1

Fixed

Add explicit link to lib math in our optimized build. (#692)
Logger level not restored correctly for empty byte sequences. (#701)
TypeError when passing bytearray to from_bytes. (#703)

Misc

Applied safe micro-optimizations in both our noise detector and language detector.
Rewrote the query_yes_no function (inside CLI) to avoid using ambiguous licensed code.
Added cd.py submodule into mypyc optional compilation to reduce further the performance impact.

EPSS Score	`0.856%`
EPSS Percentile	`57th percentile`

Description

During session resumption in crypto/tls, if the underlying Config has its ClientCAs or RootCAs fields mutated between the initial handshake and the resumed handshake, the resumed handshake may succeed when it should have failed. This may happen when a user calls Config.Clone and mutates the returned Config, or uses Config.GetConfigForClient. This can cause a client to resume a session with a server that it would not have resumed with during the initial handshake, or cause a server to resume a session with a client that it would not have resumed with during the initial handshake.

Fixed version	`1.25.13`
EPSS Score	`0.692%`
EPSS Percentile	`51st percentile`

Description

The ToASCII and ToUnicode functions incorrectly accept Punycode-encoded labels that decode to an ASCII-only label. For example, ToUnicode("xn--example-.com") incorrectly returns the name "example.com" rather than an error.

This behavior can lead to privilege escalation in programs using the idna package. For example, a program which performs privilege checks on the ASCII hostname may reject "example.com" but permit "xn--example-.com". If that program subsequently converts the ASCII hostname to Unicode, it will inadvertently permits access to the Unicode name "example.com".

Description

On Unix systems, opening a file in an os.Root improperly follows symlinks to locations outside of the Root when the final path component of the a path is a symbolic link and the path ends in /.

For example, 'root.Open("symlink/")' will open "symlink" even when "symlink" is a symbolic link pointing outside of the root.

Description

Handshake messages, such as KeyUpdate, are always considered as state-advancing, regardless of whether a handshake has been completed or not. As a result, a malicious client can keep sending KeyUpdate messages to force the server to keep performing key derivation operations indefinitely.

EPSS Percentile	`75th percentile`

Description

Impact

What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?

It is an Authorization Bypass resulting from Improper Input Validation of the HTTP/2 :path pseudo-header.

The gRPC-Go server was too lenient in its routing logic, accepting requests where the :path omitted the mandatory leading slash (e.g., Service/Method instead of /Service/Method). While the server successfully routed these requests to the correct handler, authorization interceptors (including the official grpc/authz package) evaluated the raw, non-canonical path string. Consequently, "deny" rules defined using canonical paths (starting with /) failed to match the incoming request, allowing it to bypass the policy if a fallback "allow" rule was present.

Who is impacted?
This affects gRPC-Go servers that meet both of the following criteria:

They use path-based authorization interceptors, such as the official RBAC implementation in google.golang.org/grpc/authz or custom interceptors relying on info.FullMethod or grpc.Method(ctx).

Their security policy contains specific "deny" rules for canonical paths but allows other requests by default (a fallback "allow" rule).

The vulnerability is exploitable by an attacker who can send raw HTTP/2 frames with malformed :path headers directly to the gRPC server.

Patches

Has the problem been patched? What versions should users upgrade to?

Yes, the issue has been patched. The fix ensures that any request with a :path that does not start with a leading slash is immediately rejected with a codes.Unimplemented error, preventing it from reaching authorization interceptors or handlers with a non-canonical path string.

Users should upgrade to the following versions (or newer):

v1.79.3

The latest master branch.

It is recommended that all users employing path-based authorization (especially grpc/authz) upgrade as soon as the patch is available in a tagged release.

Workarounds

Is there a way for users to fix or remediate the vulnerability without upgrading?

While upgrading is the most secure and recommended path, users can mitigate the vulnerability using one of the following methods:

1. Use a Validating Interceptor (Recommended Mitigation)

Add an "outermost" interceptor to your server that validates the path before any other authorization logic runs:
func pathValidationInterceptor(ctx context.Context, req any, info *grpc.UnaryServerInfo, handler grpc.UnaryHandler) (any, error) {
    if info.FullMethod == "" || info.FullMethod[0] != '/' {
        return nil, status.Errorf(codes.Unimplemented, "malformed method name")
    }   
    return handler(ctx, req)
}

// Ensure this is the FIRST interceptor in your chain
s := grpc.NewServer(
    grpc.ChainUnaryInterceptor(pathValidationInterceptor, authzInterceptor),
)
2. Infrastructure-Level Normalization

If your gRPC server is behind a reverse proxy or load balancer (such as Envoy, NGINX, or an L7 Cloud Load Balancer), ensure it is configured to enforce strict HTTP/2 compliance for pseudo-headers and reject or normalize requests where the :path header does not start with a leading slash.

3. Policy Hardening

Switch to a "default deny" posture in your authorization policies (explicitly listing all allowed paths and denying everything else) to reduce the risk of bypasses via malformed inputs.

Description

Multiple security vulnerabilities have been identified and addressed in grpc-go affecting the xDS RBAC authorization engine (internal/xds/rbac) and the HTTP/2 transport server implementation (internal/transport). These vulnerabilities could result in:

Authorization Bypass (Fail-Open) when translating xDS RBAC policies containing Metadata or RequestedServerName fields.

Denial of Service (High CPU Consumption) due to an HTTP/2 Rapid Reset mitigation bypass during client-initiated stream resets.

Denial of Service (Server Panic) when parsing crafted xDS RBAC policies containing NOT rules around unsupported fields.

Impact

What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?

xDS RBAC Authorization Bypass via Metadata & RequestedServerName matchers

Affected Component: xDS RBAC

Impact: When building policy matchers for gRPC RBAC from xDS configurations, unsupported permission and principal rules (specifically Metadata and RequestedServerName) were silently ignored and treated as no-ops.

If an authorization policy relied purely on these matchers for access control, treating those rules as no-ops effectively removed the restrictions.

If these unsupported rules were nested inside logical NOT rules (Permission_NotRule / Principal_NotId) or multi-condition OR/AND rules, silently dropping them changed the boolean logic flow of the authorization engine.

As a result, policy evaluation decisions could fail open, allowing unauthorized clients to access protected gRPC services or resources.

HTTP/2 Rapid Reset Mitigation Bypass / Denial of Service via Stream Aborts

Affected Component: HTTP/2 transport

Impact: Earlier mitigations in grpc-go for HTTP/2 Rapid Reset only applied threshold checks to items that directly resulted in control frames being written back to the wire, such as SETTINGS ACKs or server-initiated RST_STREAMs.

When a client initiated a rapid flood of stream creation (HEADERS) immediately followed by stream termination RST_STREAM, items queued up in the control buffer without counting against the transport response frame threshold. An attacker can repeatedly trigger this flood sequence to bypass reader blocking, resulting in high CPU usage, and Denial of Service (DoS).

Denial of Service (Panic) in xDS RBAC Engine via Unsupported Fields inside NOT Rules

Affected Component: xDS RBAC

Impact: The xDS RBAC policy translators recursively generate matchers for nested rules. When a NOT rule wrapped an unsupported or unhandled field (such as SourcedMetadata), the recursive step returned an empty matcher. This could result in a runtime panic when the RBAC engine attempts to authorize an incoming request.

An attacker or misconfigured/malicious xDS management server delivering an LDS/RDS update containing a NOT rule around an unhandled field causes the gRPC server process to crash immediately (CWE-248 / Denial of Service).

Patches

Has the problem been patched? What versions should users upgrade to?

All three issues have been fixed in master and will be released in 1.82.1 shortly.

Workarounds

Is there a way for users to fix or remediate the vulnerability without upgrading?

If upgrading grpc-go immediately is not possible, apply the following workarounds based on your deployment architecture:

For xDS RBAC Vulnerabilities & Panics: Ensure that upstream xDS management servers do not push RBAC policies containing Metadata, RequestedServerName, or NOT rules wrapping unsupported fields (such as SourcedMetadata) to grpc-go servers.

For HTTP/2 Rapid Reset DOS: Configure upstream reverse proxies or load balancers (such as Envoy) with strict HTTP/2 max_concurrent_streams limits and active rate limiting on RST_STREAM frequency per connection.

Description

A vulnerability exists in gRPC-Go servers configured with xds.NewGRPCServer() where a crafted request missing both :authority and Host headers can cause a server panic, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).

Servers built with xds.NewGRPCServer install an xDS routing interceptor on every RPC. This interceptor looks up the request’s :authority header to pick a virtual host. The HTTP/2 server transport previously accepted requests that had neither :authority nor Host. When this happened, the xDS routing interceptor attempted to access the first element of an empty slice of authorities, leading to an index out of bounds panic. Since the per-RPC goroutine does not recover from panics, the entire server process would terminate.

This panic occurs in the interceptor pipeline, meaning the transport credentials handshake (TLS, mTLS, or ALTS) and HTTP/2 connection establishment must complete successfully before the crafted request can reach this logic.

Insecure/Standard TLS: If the server permits insecure (plaintext) connections or standard credentials (where client certs are not checked), any unauthenticated remote attacker can trigger the crash.

mTLS / ALTS: If strict transport-level authentication is enforced at the network edge or transport layer (e.g., requiring a valid client certificate), the attacker must possess valid transport credentials to initiate the stream and trigger the panic.

Impact

An attacker can cause a complete outage of the gRPC server by sending a request missing both :authority and Host headers, provided they can successfully establish a transport connection.

Patches

The issue has been addressed in master (and backported to 1.84.0, 1.83.2 and 1.82.2). The fix updates the HTTP/2 transport layer to reject requests missing both :authority and Host headers early, maintaining consistency with and other gRPC language implementations.

EPSS Percentile	`47th percentile`

Description

Impact

An unauthenticated remote attacker can initiate a gRPC stream and purposefully fragment their payload into millions of tiny (e.g., 1-byte) HTTP/2 DATA frames. Even if the total payload volume falls within the configured connection and stream flow-control windows, each independent fragment incurs memory overhead due to internal tracking structures and queue allocation.

Repeated fragmentation massively inflates the heap space consumed by the stream. An attacker multiplexing multiple concurrent streams can exhaust the memory bounds of the runtime, forcing a runtime panic or OutOfMemory condition and leading to a remote Denial of Service (DoS).

Patches

The change to fix this issue is merged in master and a patch release, 1.83.1, has been published that contains this fix.

Workarounds

This vulnerability is mitigated by implementing receive buffer compaction. Consecutive small data buffers are automatically coalesced into larger buffers from a shared pool once the overhead is perceived to be excessive relative to actual payload data, drastically minimizing per-frame memory overheads.

This behavior is enabled by default. A temporary escape hatch is provided via the environment variable GRPC_GO_EXPERIMENTAL_ENABLE_RECEIVE_BUFFER_COMPACTION=false to disable the feature if unforeseen issues arise, but it will be removed in a future release.

EPSS Percentile	`22nd percentile`

Description

Summary

A vulnerability in the xDS RBAC HTTP filter implementation in grpc-go allows remote attackers to bypass authorization policies (specifically DENY rules) by using mixed-case or canonical-case header matchers (e.g., X-Role instead of x-role). Additionally, the safety guards introduced by gRFC A41 to block grpc- prefixed headers can be evaded via variations in casing (e.g., Grpc-Status).

Impact

When an operator defines an RBAC policy referencing headers containing uppercase letters (e.g. X-Role), grpc-go fails to match incoming metadata keys because they are unconditionally lowercased. Because of this case-sensitivity mismatch, a policy designed to block requests containing specific header values fails open: the rule is evaluated as a non-match, and traffic that should have been rejected is served.

Furthermore, gRFC A41 requires rejecting configuration schemas specifying header matchers starting with grpc-. Because this check is executed case-sensitively in grpc-go, attackers can bypass the validation by specifying titles like Grpc-Status.

Patches

The problem is fixed in master and in the 1.83.1 release.

Description

The HAProxyMessageDecoder in netty's codec-haproxy module performs protocol version detection by reading the 13th byte of the inbound stream as a signed Java byte and widening it to int without masking. When an attacker sends a PROXY protocol v2 binary prefix (0D 0A 0D 0A 00 0D 0A 51 55 49 54 0A) followed by version byte 0xFF, the sign extension produces -1, which collides with the decoder's "need more data" sentinel value. This collision traps the decoder in a version-detection loop where it perpetually requests more data without consuming any bytes, never instantiates the HeaderExtractor that enforces header size limits, and causes ByteToMessageDecoder to accumulate all subsequent inbound bytes into an unbounded cumulation buffer until the JVM exhausts its direct memory allocation.

Description

Impact

The HAProxy PROXY protocol v2 codec in netty leaks native or heap memory on every connection when a client sends a syntactically valid header containing nested PP2_TYPE_SSL TLVs (type-length-value records) at depth two or greater. The leak occurs on the successful parse path — no exception is thrown, the message fires downstream, the decoder removes itself, and the application releases the HAProxyMessage normally. Yet the underlying cumulation buffer (a pooled, potentially direct ByteBuf allocated by the channel) remains permanently pinned.

Description

When decoding a PP2_TYPE_SSL TLV, HAProxyMessage.readNextTLV() first calls header.retainedSlice(header.readerIndex(), length) and only then reads the 1-byte client field and 4-byte verify field. If the attacker sets the TLV length below 5, the subsequent readByte/readInt throws IndexOutOfBoundsException. HAProxyMessageDecoder only catches HAProxyProtocolException around this call, so the IOOBE propagates and the retained slice on the pooled cumulation buffer is never released.

CVSS 3.1 Vector	`CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N`

2. Affected Components

io.netty.handler.codec.haproxy.HAProxyMessageEncoder — encodeV1() method (lines 63-77): writes sourceAddress and destinationAddress directly to output without CRLF validation
io.netty.handler.codec.haproxy.HAProxyMessage — constructor checkAddress() validates IPv4/IPv6 format but only checks length for AF_UNIX (line 439)

3. Vulnerability Description

Netty's HAProxy protocol encoder writes AF_UNIX socket addresses directly into the HAProxy V1 text protocol format without validating for CRLF characters. The V1 protocol uses CRLF (\r\n) as the line terminator, so CRLF characters in an address split the single PROXY header line into multiple lines, effectively injecting a second PROXY protocol header.

Root Cause — Encoder

// HAProxyMessageEncoder.java:63-77
private static void encodeV1(HAProxyMessage msg, ByteBuf out) {
    out.writeBytes(TEXT_PREFIX);                                    // "PROXY "
    out.writeByte((byte) ' ');
    out.writeCharSequence(msg.proxiedProtocol().name(), US_ASCII); // "UNIX_STREAM"
    out.writeByte((byte) ' ');
    out.writeCharSequence(msg.sourceAddress(), US_ASCII);           // <-- NO CRLF CHECK
    out.writeByte((byte) ' ');
    out.writeCharSequence(msg.destinationAddress(), US_ASCII);      // <-- NO CRLF CHECK
    out.writeByte((byte) ' ');
    // ...
    out.writeByte((byte) '\r');
    out.writeByte((byte) '\n');
}

Root Cause — Insufficient Address Validation

// HAProxyMessage.java:428-442
private static void checkAddress(String address, AddressFamily addrFamily) {
    switch (addrFamily) {
        case AF_UNIX:
            ObjectUtil.checkNotNull(address, "address");
            if (address.getBytes(CharsetUtil.US_ASCII).length > 108) {
                throw new IllegalArgumentException("invalid AF_UNIX address: " + address);
            }
            return;  // ONLY checks length <= 108, NO CRLF validation!
        case AF_IPv4:
            if (!NetUtil.isValidIpV4Address(address)) { ... }  // Format check blocks CRLF
        case AF_IPv6:
            if (!NetUtil.isValidIpV6Address(address)) { ... }  // Format check blocks CRLF
    }
}

IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are validated against format rules that implicitly reject CRLF. But AF_UNIX addresses only check length <= 108 — any characters including CRLF are accepted.

4. Exploitability Prerequisites

This vulnerability is exploitable when:

An application uses Netty's HAProxyMessageEncoder to construct HAProxy V1 protocol headers
AF_UNIX (UNIX_STREAM or UNIX_DGRAM) addresses contain user-controlled input
The encoded PROXY header is sent to a downstream server or load balancer

Affected use cases:

PROXY protocol relays that construct AF_UNIX messages from upstream data
Load balancer integrations where socket paths come from configuration or external sources
Multi-tenant proxies that dynamically construct PROXY headers

PROXY TCP4 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2 1234 80 /var/run/dest.sock 0 0

The backend receives two PROXY lines. Depending on implementation:

HAProxy: may use the first line and ignore the second
Other implementations: may use the second line, treating the connection as TCP4 from 10.0.0.1
This enables client IP spoofing — the backend believes the client is 10.0.0.1 when it's not

7. Remediation Recommendations

Option 1: Validate AF_UNIX Addresses for CRLF

// HAProxyMessage.java checkAddress() - add for AF_UNIX:
case AF_UNIX:
    ObjectUtil.checkNotNull(address, "address");
    byte[] addrBytes = address.getBytes(CharsetUtil.US_ASCII);
    if (addrBytes.length > 108) {
        throw new IllegalArgumentException("invalid AF_UNIX address: too long");
    }
    for (byte b : addrBytes) {
        if (b == '\r' || b == '\n') {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException(
                "AF_UNIX address contains prohibited CRLF character");
        }
    }
    return;

Option 2: Validate in Encoder

// HAProxyMessageEncoder.java encodeV1() - validate before writing:
private static void validateV1Address(String address) {
    for (int i = 0; i < address.length(); i++) {
        char c = address.charAt(i);
        if (c == '\r' || c == '\n' || c == ' ') {
            throw new HAProxyProtocolException(
                "V1 address contains prohibited character at index " + i);
        }
    }
}

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

Attacker has local access to a system running a Go application that imports go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk

Attacker places a malicious kenv binary earlier in $PATH

Application initializes OpenTelemetry resource detection at startup

hostIDReaderBSD.read() calls exec.Command("kenv", ...) which resolves to the malicious binary

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.

Description

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:

the provider's span processors;

each processor's span exporter; and

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.

Description

multi-value baggage: header extraction parses each header field-value independently and aggregates members across values. this allows an attacker to amplify cpu and allocations by sending many baggage: header lines, even when each individual value is within the 8192-byte per-value parse limit.

vulnerability details

pins: open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go@1ee4a41
as-of: 2026-02-04
policy: direct (no program scope provided)

callsite: propagation/baggage.go:58 (extractMultiBaggage)
attacker control: inbound HTTP request headers (many baggage field-values) → propagation.HeaderCarrier.Values("baggage") → repeated baggage.Parse + member aggregation

root cause

extractMultiBaggage iterates over all baggage header field-values and parses each one independently, then appends members into a shared slice. the 8192-byte parsing cap applies per header value, but the multi-value path repeats that work once per header line (bounded only by the server/proxy header byte limit).

impact

in a default net/http configuration (max header bytes 1mb), a single request with many baggage: header field-values can cause large per-request allocations and increased latency.

example from the attached PoC harness (darwin/arm64; 80 values; 40 requests):

canonical: per_req_alloc_bytes=10315458 and p95_ms=7

control: per_req_alloc_bytes=133429 and p95_ms=0

proof of concept

canonical:
mkdir -p poc
unzip poc.zip -d poc
cd poc
make test
output (excerpt):
[CALLSITE_HIT]: propagation/baggage.go:58 extractMultiBaggage
[PROOF_MARKER]: baggage_multi_value_amplification p95_ms=7 per_req_alloc_bytes=10315458 per_req_allocs=16165
control:
cd poc
make control
control output (excerpt):
[NC_MARKER]: baggage_single_value_baseline p95_ms=0 per_req_alloc_bytes=133429 per_req_allocs=480
expected: multiple baggage header field-values should be semantically equivalent to a single comma-joined baggage value and should not multiply parsing/alloc work within the effective header byte budget.
actual: multiple baggage header field-values trigger repeated parsing and member aggregation, causing high per-request allocations and increased latency even when each individual value is within 8192 bytes.

fix recommendation

avoid repeated parsing across multi-values by enforcing a global budget and/or normalizing multi-values into a single value before parsing. one mitigation approach is to treat multi-values as a single comma-joined string and cap total parsed bytes (for example 8192 bytes total).

fix accepted when: under the default PoC harness settings, canonical stays within 2x of control for per_req_alloc_bytes and per_req_allocs, and p95_ms stays below 2ms.

Description

Summary

The JLine3 HISTORY_IGNORE variable is converted into a Java regular expression with
only partial escaping. As a result, regex metacharacters other than * and : are
passed through to the regex engine. A crafted value such as (a+)+b can cause
catastrophic backtracking each time a command line is added to history, hanging the
reader thread at high CPU.

Details

In reader/src/main/java/org/jline/reader/impl/history/DefaultHistory.java,
matchPatterns() converts HISTORY_IGNORE into a regex:
for (int i = 0; i < patterns.length(); i++) {
    char ch = patterns.charAt(i);
    if (ch == '\\') {
        ch = patterns.charAt(++i);
        sb.append(ch);
    } else if (ch == ':') {
        sb.append('|');
    } else if (ch == '*') {
        sb.append('.').append('*');
    } else {
        sb.append(ch);
    }
}
return line.matches(sb.toString());
This logic translates wildcard syntax but does not escape regex metacharacters such as
(, ), +, ?, {, }, [, and ]. Those characters therefore reach the Java
regex engine unchanged.

Affected source location:

reader/src/main/java/org/jline/reader/impl/history/DefaultHistory.java

matchPatterns(String patterns, String line)

PoC

Configure HISTORY_IGNORE to a malicious pattern, for example:
set history-ignore "(a+)+b"
At the JLine prompt, enter a long non-matching line:
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaax
Press Enter.

Expected result:

The prompt does not return.

The reader thread consumes high CPU.

Reproduction environment:

JLine3 on x86_64 Linux

OpenJDK 25.0.2

Impact

This is a denial-of-service vulnerability caused by catastrophic regex backtracking.
Applications embedding org.jline:jline-reader are impacted if they allow
HISTORY_IGNORE to be configured through user configuration or application settings.
The issue is lower severity than the interactive editor findings because the attacker
must control configuration, but it can still reliably hang a reader session.

Suggested Fix

The safest fix for the current git head is to stop treating arbitrary HISTORY_IGNORE
content as a regex. Instead, escape all characters by default and translate only the
intended JLine wildcard syntax (*) and separator syntax (:).
