CVE-2026-55427 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, `coder config-ssh` wrote server-supplied SSH settings (`HostnameSuffix`, `SSHConfigOptions`) into the user's `~/.ssh/config` without sanitizing embedded newlines or restricting directives so a malicious or compromised Coder server could inject arbitrary SSH configuration. Practical exploitation requires control of the server-supplied values through a malicious or compromised deployment, a man-in-the-middle position or admin access to the `HostnameSuffix` and `SSHConfigOptions` settings. The fix in versions 2.29.7, 2.32.7, 2.33.8, and 2.34.2 validates `HostnameSuffix` and `SSHConfigOptions` against a strict character set that rejects newlines and other control characters. As a workaround, inspect `coder config-ssh --dry-run` output before applying changes.
A vulnerability in Coder's SSH configuration management feature has been identified, allowing for the injection of arbitrary SSH settings. This issue arises because the `coder config-ssh` command writes server-supplied SSH options into the user's SSH configuration file without proper sanitization. Specifically, the `HostnameSuffix` and `SSHConfigOptions` values can be manipulated to include unauthorized directives, such as `ProxyCommand`, which could lead to arbitrary code execution on developer workstations. The vulnerability affects Coder versions prior to 2.29.7, 2.32.7, 2.33.8, and 2.34.2.
Users can upgrade to Coder versions 2.29.17, 2.32.7, 2.33.8, or 2.34.2, all of which include the necessary patch. Instructions for upgrading Coder are available in the Coder documentation.
