CVE-2026-45685: OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation: MongoDB parser panics on malformed wire messages
(updated )
Malformed MongoDB wire messages can trigger uncaught panics in the MongoDB TCP parser, allowing a remote unauthenticated attacker to crash the telemetry agent and cause a denial of service. The parser operates on raw attacker-controlled network payloads before the input is fully validated, so a single crafted message can terminate telemetry collection for the affected process or node.
