Recurring patterns

The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.

Denial of Service: Unbounded extraction of W3C Baggage headers can lead to excessive CPU and memory consumption. Attackers can exploit this to cause a denial of service by sending maliciously large headers or a high count of baggage items.
Information Disclosure: Propagating export error details directly from gRPC/HTTP status responses can expose sensitive authentication credentials or authorization tokens in error logs. Masking error details is required to prevent accidental leakages.
