CVE-2026-59892
Last modified
CVE-2026-59892 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. OpenTelemetry JavaScript is the OpenTelemetry JavaScript client. Prior to 2.9.0, @opentelemetry/propagator-jaeger decodes incoming uber-trace-id and uberctx-* HTTP header values with decodeURIComponent() without handling decode errors, allowing an unauthenticated remote attacker to send a malformed percent-encoded value that throws an uncaught URIError and terminates a Node.js process using JaegerPropagator as the active propagator. EPSS estimates a 0.44% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
