CVE-2026-55077 Details
Description
Coder allows organizations to provision remote development environments via Terraform. Prior to versions 2.29.7, 2.32.7, 2.33.8, and 2.34.2, the `PUT /api/v2/users/{user}/password` endpoint authorized only `ActionUpdatePersonal` and did not prevent a `user-admin` from resetting an `owner` account's password. It also did not require the current password when an admin reset another user's password. Exploitation requires the privileged `user-admin` role so practical risk is limited to deployments that grant `user-admin` to less trusted operators. The fix in versions 2.29.7, 2.32.7, 2.33.8, and 2.34.2 prevents non-owner users from resetting the password of an account that holds the `owner` role. As a workaround, restrict the `user-admin` role to trusted administrators.
A vulnerability exists in Coder's remote development environment provisioning via Terraform, specifically in the `PUT /api/v2/users/{user}/password` endpoint. Prior to versions 2.29.7, 2.32.7, 2.33.8, and 2.34.2, the endpoint allowed users with the `user-admin` role to reset passwords for accounts with the `owner` role, without requiring the current password. This issue could be exploited by `user-admin` roles granted to less trusted operators, allowing unauthorized password resets and access to full deployment control.
Upgrade to Coder versions 2.29.17, 2.32.7, 2.33.8, or 2.34.2. Instructions for upgrading Coder are available in the Coder documentation.
