That's a symptom of overheating. You may have a damaged core in there.
It's potentially dangerous, so should be replaced.

thanks noondaywitchyour advice was really helpful!
so I went to a service, and they sent some photos of the charger and Apple was agree to replace it for a new one. Only the ipod's cable they won't change it althougth is the same problem, but is a cheap cable, so have to buy it.
I have same problem :'(
i didn't think it is dangerous
thank you for tell us.
If you still have Apple Care, like I do (thank god). Then I was able to go to the local Apple Store and do a fair excahnge and also an inspection on my Macbook Pro.
I'm glad I found this discussion. I've noticed the same issue as well with my iphone cord - turning yellow at both ends of the connector. I took it to the store today and the apple employee told me it was "just dirty - grease and hair" [...what hair?] and ensured me it was totally fine. I was not convinced hence looked online and landed here. I don't usually take my iphone charger/cord outside of my house and never rough handle it. Rest of cord is as white as can be. I will be taking it to another store for another evaluation when I have free time.
Apple's cords turning yellow near the connectors, is this dangerous?
