It has been classified as critical. The impacted element is an unknown function of the component File Creation Handler. Performing a manipulation results in path traversal. This vulnerability was named CVE-2026-41433. The attack needs to be approached locally. There is no available exploit. Upgrading the affected component is recommended. Detailsinfo A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in open-telemetry opentelemetry-ebpf-instrumentation up to 0.7.x. This affects an unknown code block of the component File Creation Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. This is going to have an impact on integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is: OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation provides eBPF instrumentation based on the OpenTelemetry standard. From 0.4.0 to before 0.8.0, a flaw in the Java agent injection path allows a local attacker controlling a Java workload to overwrite arbitrary host files when Java injection is enabled and OBI is running with elevated privileges. The injector trusted TMPDIR from the target process and used unsafe file creation semantics, enabling both filesystem boundary escape and symlink-based file clobbering. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.8.0. The advisory is shared at github.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2026-41433 since 04/20/2026. The exploitability is told to be easy. An attack has to be approached locally. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1006 for this issue. Upgrading to version 0.8.0 eliminates this vulnerability. The vulnerability is also documented in the vulnerability database at EUVD (EUVD-2026-25620).
