CVE-2026-47256

OpenTelemetry, also known as OTel, is a vendor-neutral open source Observability framework for instrumenting, generating, collecting, and exporting telemetry data such as traces, metrics, and logs. Prior to 0.154.0, the Sentry exporter reads the remote OTLP sender-controlled service.name resource attribute in exporter/sentryexporter/sentry_exporter.go through extractProjectSlug and getOrCreateProjectEndpoint, passes the raw project slug to GetOTLPEndpoints and GetProjectKeys in exporter/sentryexporter/sentry_client.go, and interpolates it into a Sentry API URL without applying projectSlugRegexp through validateRoutingConfig at runtime in exporter/sentryexporter/config.go. Special characters can turn the expected path suffix into query data in all deployments or introduce slash and dot segments that traverse paths when the Sentry deployment normalizes them, while the Collector attaches its operator-configured bearer token to the request. A successful request can reach token-authorized administrative, organization, member, or key endpoints within the configured Sentry organization, and an attacker-controlled project slug can redirect subsequently exported telemetry. Sentry token middleware prevents cross-organization access. This issue is fixed in version 0.154.0.

Summary

The Sentry exporter constructs Sentry API URLs by interpolating the span's service.name resource attribute into the URL path without validation. Because service.name is controlled by remote OTLP senders and the operator-configured bearer token is attached to every request, a crafted service name can reach arbitrary Sentry API endpoints reachable by that token — including privileged admin, organization, and member endpoints within the configured Sentry organization.

Affected

• exporter/sentryexporter/sentry_exporter.go (lines 715–737) — extractProjectSlug returns the attacker-controlled service.name directly as the slug.
• exporter/sentryexporter/sentry_exporter.go (lines 745–809) — getOrCreateProjectEndpoint passes the raw slug to GetOTLPEndpoints at line 761.
• exporter/sentryexporter/sentry_client.go (lines 190–244) — GetProjectKeys interpolates the slug into fmt.Sprintf URL path and attaches the operator bearer token on line 207.
• exporter/sentryexporter/sentry_client.go (lines 327–363) — GetOTLPEndpoints calls GetProjectKeys on line 329 with the raw slug.
• exporter/sentryexporter/config.go (lines 55–108) — projectSlugRegexp is applied only to operator config mappings inside validateRoutingConfig, never to
  runtime-derived slugs.

Root cause

1. extractProjectSlug (sentry_exporter.go:715–737) reads service.name from pcommon.Resource.Attributes() without schema validation and returns the raw
   string on line 736.
2. GetProjectKeys (sentry_client.go:192) calls fmt.Sprintf("%s/api/0/projects/%s/%s/keys/", c.baseURL, orgSlug, projectSlug). The slug is treated as a single path segment but no validation is performed.
3. projectSlugRegexp (config.go:58) — defined as ^[a-z0-9_-]{1,50}$ — is referenced only inside validateRoutingConfig on line 98 (config-time only). No runtime callsite exists.
4. Go net/http preserves literal .. and / characters in URL paths when constructed via fmt.Sprintf.
5. The operator-configured DSN / bearer token is attached unconditionally to every outbound request (sentry_client.go:207): req.Header.Set("Authorization", fmt.Sprintf("Bearer %s", c.authToken)). …
