Description
Describe your environment
At present, my NGINX versions have required patching for major vulnerabilities found in 1.26.0 and 1.25.5. With these having been patched, the OTEL module is no longer compatible resulting in a loss of telemetry data for these installations.
Steps to reproduce
Download current webserver release of v1.1.0
What is the expected behavior?
Module available for patched and at present secure versions of nginx.
What is the actual behavior?
Module only available for versions with know high vulnerabilities.
Additional context
Current vulnerabilities for 1.26.0 and 1.25.5 are available here: https://nginx.org/en/security_advisories.html
Upgrading to 1.26.1 and 1.27.0 is the current requirement to maintain a secure environment.

Research direction
Review the current NGINX version support in the v1.1.0 webserver release and identify where compatibility is defined. Update support for NGINX 1.26.1 and 1.27.0, then verify that the OTEL module remains available and telemetry is preserved for those versions.
