Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for golang-opentelemetry-otel.

CVE-2026-45287[0]:
| OpenTelemetry-Go is the Go implementation of OpenTelemetry. Prior to
| version 0.0.17, `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/schema/v1.0` and
| `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/schema/v1.1` leaks one file descriptor on
| each successful `ParseFile` call. `ParseFile` opens the schema file
| and passes it to `Parse` without closing it; repeated parsing in a
| long-running process can exhaust the process file descriptor limit
| and cause denial of service. Exploitation depends on a consuming
| application exposing repeated schema parsing to an attacker-
| controlled path. Version 0.0.17 contains a patch for the issue.
