Affected packages
• NuGet OpenTelemetry.Exporter.Zipkin: < 1.15.3 → fixed in 1.15.3
Description
Summary
The Zipkin exporter remote endpoint cache accepted unbounded key growth derived from span attributes. In high-cardinality scenarios, this could increase process memory usage over time and degrade availability.
Details
• Introduce a bounded, thread-safe LRU cache for remote endpoints.
• Enforce fixed maximum size to prevent unbounded growth.
Impact
• A process using Zipkin export for client/producer spans could experience avoidable memory growth under sustained unique remote endpoint values.
