CVE-2026-41178 is a denial-of-service vulnerability in the OpenTelemetry-Go baggage and propagation components. In versions 1.41.0 and 1.43.0, removal of raw-length validation allows the baggage Parse function to process arbitrarily large or invalid baggage headers and emit parse-error logs. An attacker can supply oversized baggage input to drive excessive parsing and logging activity.
