CVE-2026-39882 OpenTelemetry-Go is the Go implementation of OpenTelemetry

Description

OpenTelemetry-Go is the Go implementation of OpenTelemetry. Prior to 1.43.0, the otlp HTTP exporters (traces/metrics/logs) read the full HTTP response body into an in-memory bytes.Buffer without a size cap.

This vulnerability is fixed in 1.43.0.
