### Summary The bearertokenauth extension's server authenticator performs a simple, non-constant time string comparison of the received & configured bearer tokens. ### Details https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/blob/9128a9258fe1fee36f198f97b1e3371fc7b77a93/extension/bearertokenauthextension/bearertokenauth.go#L189-L196 For background on the type of vulnerability, see https://ropesec.com/articles/timing-attacks/. ### Impact This impacts anyone using the `bearertokenauth` server authenticator.

This would allow an attacker to introduce fabricated or bad data into the collector's telemetry pipeline. ### Fix The observable timing vulnerability was fixed by @axw in v0.107.0 (PR https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-c...
