CVE-2026-48496
Last modified
CVE-2026-48496 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.2/10 on the CVSS scale. OpenTelemetry eBPF Profiler is a production-scale agent for profiling applications across multiple programming languages. Starting in version 0.0.202527 and prior to version 0.0.202622, an unprivileged process can cause the profiler to open a nonregular mapping file, such as a FIFO, and block indefinitely, preventing further ELF analysis and causing a denial of service. EPSS estimates a 0.18% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
