Summary
OpenTelemetry Python: Denial of service through quadratic-time traceparent parsing in opentelemetry-api
Details

OpenTelemetry Python provides the Python API and SDK for OpenTelemetry. Prior to 1.45.2, TraceContextTextMapPropagator.extract() in opentelemetry-api can perform quadratic-time regular-expression backtracking on a malformed traceparent value containing a trace-context prefix, a long whitespace sequence, and an embedded newline. Exploitation requires an attacker-controlled carrier that preserves embedded newlines and permits a sufficiently large value, because conforming HTTP header values cannot contain embedded newlines. JSON-based carriers, including applicable MCP request metadata integrations, can preserve the required newline depending on the SDK, instrumentation, and message-size limits. Parsing on an asynchronous server's event-loop thread can consume excessive CPU and delay unrelated requests, while the advisory does not establish disclosure, modification, or code execution. This issue is fixed in version 1.45.2.
