coder: Incorrect Authorization

Published Updated By the CyberSecBulletin desk

CVE-2026-63443 is a high-severity incorrect authorization vulnerability in coder, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.3 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an attacker with a low-privileged account, without any action from a user. Affected coder versions: >= 2.27.0, < 2.29.19; >= 2.30.0, < 2.32.9; >= 2.33.0, < 2.33.10, and others listed below. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.76% chance of exploitation within 30 days, higher than 56% of scored CVEs.

Official description

Coder allows organizations to provision remote development environments via Terraform. Prior to 2.29.19, 2.32.9, 2.33.10, and 2.34.4, agentConn.apiClient() follows redirects while its custom transport accepts the host from the redirected request URL when the port is the workspace agent HTTP API port 4. An authenticated user who controls a modified workspace agent and knows another online agent's UUID can derive the victim's tailnet address and redirect control-plane requests to that agent. HTTP 301, 302, and 303 redirects can redirect read requests, while HTTP 307 and 308 preserve replayable write and process-start requests. The redirected workspace agent file APIs can read or write files as the victim workspace user, and affected versions exposing the workspace agent process API can execute commands after a redirected file write, crossing workspace and tenant boundaries. This issue is fixed in versions 2.29.19, 2.32.9, 2.33.10, and 2.34.4.

The underlying weakness: Incorrect Authorization

The product performs an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action, but it does not correctly perform the check.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

  • Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries. Note that this approach may not protect against horizontal authorization, i.e., it will not protect a user from attacking others with the same role.
  • Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records. For example, a database may restrict access for medical records to a specific database user, but each record might only be intended to be accessible to the patient and the patient's doctor.
  • Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid. For example, consider using authorization frameworks such as the JAAS Authorization Framework and the OWASP ESAPI Access Control feature.
