CVE-2026-45679: OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation: Redis error text is exported in span status messages

May 18, 2026

OBI exports raw Redis error text as the span status message. Because Redis error replies can contain attacker-controlled or sensitive values, this behavior can exfiltrate tokens, PII, or other confidential input into telemetry backends and inject untrusted text into downstream analysis systems.
