Auth bypass in Coder
CVE-2026-55428
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 tailnet coordinator validates that an agent's `Addresses` derive from its authenticated UUID but applies no equivalent check to `AllowedIPs`. The coordinator forwards agent-supplied `AllowedIPs` verbatim to tunnel peers which install them into the WireGuard peer configuration. The fix in versions 2.29.7, 2.32.7, 2.33.8, and 2.34.2 validates each `AllowedIPs` prefix against the authenticating agent's UUID just like `Addresses`. As a workaround, monitor coordinator logs for agents advertising unexpected `AllowedIPs` prefixes.
