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

May 18, 2026 (updated June 9, 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.
