Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling in the ddtrace_deserialize_baggage process. An attacker can exhaust system resources by sending a large number of comma-separated key-value pairs or an oversized value in W3C baggage HTTP headers, leading to excessive CPU and memory consumption. This is only exploitable if baggage extraction is enabled, which is the default unless baggage is removed from DD_TRACE_PROPAGATION_STYLE or DD_TRACE_PROPAGATION_STYLE_EXTRACT.
