CVE-2026-45404: OpenTelemetry-Go: Unsynchronized baggage map can panic under concurrent access

August 20, 2026

go.opentelemetry.io/otel/bridge/opentracing introduced an unsynchronized extraBaggageItems map on bridgeSpan. One goroutine can write this map through Span.SetBaggageItem while another goroutine reads and iterates it during correlation baggage propagation, which can trigger Go’s fatal concurrent map access panic and crash the process. The finding is low severity because exploitation requires a specific OpenTracing bridge configuration and concurrent use of the same span.

Introduced in commit: 8cddf30
