Vulnerability in github.com/coder/coder/v2 (CVE-2026-55428)
Summary
Vulnerability in github.com/coder/coder/v2 (CVE-2026-55428). Confidential information can be exposed externally. Exploitable via Addresses. Mitigation: upgrade to 2.29.17 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Summary
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.
Impact
A malicious workspace agent can advertise arbitrary AllowedIPs prefixes including another agent's tailnet address. Coder's ServerTailnet routes to agents by tailnet IP so an agent that claims a victim's prefix can intercept web terminal and workspace app traffic and serve spoofed content. Exploitation requires an authenticated user with a running workspace and a modified agent binary.
Patches
The fix validates each AllowedIPs prefix against the authenticating agent's UUID just like Addresses.
The fix was backported to all supported release lines:
| Release line | Patched version |
|---|---|
| 2.34 | v2.34.2 |
| 2.33 | v2.33.8 |
| 2.32 | v2.32.7 |
| 2.29 (ESR) | v2.29.17 |
Workarounds
Operators who cannot upgrade immediately should monitor coordinator logs for agents advertising unexpected AllowedIPs prefixes.
