CVE-2026-41433
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation provides eBPF instrumentation based on the OpenTelemetry standard. From 0.4.0 to before 0.8.0, a flaw in the Java agent injection path allows a local attacker controlling a Java workload to overwrite arbitrary host files when Java injection is enabled and OBI is running with elevated privileges. The injector trusted TMPDIR from the target process and used unsafe file creation semantics, enabling both filesystem boundary escape and symlink-based file clobbering. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.8.0.

"value": "OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation proporciona instrumentación eBPF basada en el estándar OpenTelemetry. Desde 0.4.0 hasta antes de 0.8.0, un fallo en la ruta de inyección del agente Java permite a un atacante local que controla una carga de trabajo Java sobrescribir archivos de host arbitrarios cuando la inyección Java está habilitada y OBI se ejecuta con privilegios elevados. El inyector confiaba en TMPDIR del proceso objetivo y utilizaba semánticas de creación de archivos inseguras, lo que permitía tanto el escape de límites del sistema de archivos como la sobrescritura de archivos basada en enlaces simbólicos. Esta vulnerabilidad está corregida en 0.8.0."
