CVE-2026-55438 Details
Description
Coder allows organizations to provision remote development environments via Terraform. Prior to versions 2.29.17, 2.32.7, 2.33.8, and 2.34.2, Coder's subdomain-based workspace app proxy allowed the same-owner CORS check to be bypassed. When a workspace-name subdomain segment parsed as a UUID, the workspace was resolved by ID without confirming the URL's username matched the real owner, while the CORS middleware trusted the unverified username in the hostname. Practical exploitation requires subdomain app routing (wildcard hostname) enabled and a victim who visits the attacker's crafted app URL while authenticated. The fix in versions 2.29.17, 2.32.7, 2.33.8, and 2.34.2 validates the subdomain username against the resolved workspace's actual owner and bases the same-owner CORS decision on the authoritative owner identity. No known workarounds are available.
A vulnerability in Coder's workspace application proxy allowed the same-owner Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) check to be bypassed. This issue was present in Coder versions prior to 2.29.17, 2.32.7, 2.33.8, and 2.34.2. The vulnerability arose because the workspace-name subdomain segment, when parsed as a UUID, was resolved by ID without verifying that the URL's username matched the actual owner. Exploitation required subdomain app routing to be enabled and for a victim to visit a crafted app URL while authenticated, allowing the attacker to exfiltrate data from the victim's workspace apps.
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 fix. Instructions for upgrading Coder are available in the Coder documentation.
