      <title>GHSA-8pgv-569h-w5rw — otelgrpc DoS vulnerability due to unbound cardinality metrics</title>
      <link>https://cve.radiocsirt.org/vuln/ghsa-8pgv-569h-w5rw</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Go: go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/google.golang.org/grpc/otelgrpc&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;### Summary&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The grpc Unary Server Interceptor [opentelemetry-go-contrib/instrumentation/google.golang.org/grpc/otelgrpc/interceptor.go](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go-contrib/blob/9d4eb7e7706038b07d33f83f76afbe13f53d171d/instrumentation/google.golang.org/grpc/otelgrpc/interceptor.go#L327)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;```
// UnaryServerInterceptor returns a grpc.UnaryServerInterceptor suitable
// for use in a grpc.NewServer call.
func UnaryServerInterceptor(opts ...Option) grpc.UnaryServerInterceptor {
```
  
out of the box adds labels&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- `net.peer.sock.addr`
- `net.peer.sock.port`&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;that have unbound cardinality. It leads to the server&amp;#39;s potential memory exhaustion when many malicious requests are sent.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;### Details&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An attacker can easily flood the peer address and port for requests.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;### PoC&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Apply the attached patch to the example and run the client multiple times.  Observe how each request will create a unique histogram and how the memory consumption increases during it.
### Impact&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In order to be affected, the program has to configure a metrics pipeline, use  [UnaryServerInterceptor](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go-contrib/blob/9d4eb7e7706038b07d33f83f76afbe13f53d171d/instrumentation/google.golang.org/grpc/otelgrpc/interceptor.go#L327), and does not filter any client IP address and ports via middleware or proxies, etc.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;### Others&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is similar to already reported vulnerabilities.&lt;/p&gt;
