How to Fix CVE-2026-55435

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Github.com/coder/coder/v2 dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

github.com/coder/coder/v2 fixed: 2.34.2
Upgrade github.com/coder/coder/v2 to 2.34.2
github.com/coder/coder/v2 fixed: 2.33.8
Upgrade github.com/coder/coder/v2 to 2.33.8
github.com/coder/coder/v2 fixed: 2.32.7
Upgrade github.com/coder/coder/v2 to 2.32.7
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:

inspect dependencies for github.com/coder/coder/v2

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2026-55435, inspect your project dependencies for Github.com/coder/coder/v2:

inspect dependencies for github.com/coder/coder/v2

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Github.com/coder/coder/v2 in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.34.2), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-863: Incorrect Authorization, where 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. In Github.com/coder/coder/v2, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Summary AI Bridge proxy endpoints authenticate via `Server.IsAuthorized` in `coderd/aibridgedserver`, which validates key format, expiry, secret and deleted or system users but does not check whether the account is suspended. Because suspension does not revoke existing API keys, a suspended user's unexpired token keeps working. > **Note:** Practical impact is limited to already-issued API keys of suspended users until those keys are deleted. ### Impact A suspended user with a previously issued long-lived token could continue calling AI Bridge LLM proxy endpoints, consuming paid provider resources billed to the deployment and, if injected MCP tools are enabled, invoking those tools. Access persists until the token expires, which may be months after suspension. ### Patches The fix makes AI Bridge authorization reject non-active users like the standard API key middleware. AI Bridge was introduced in v2.30.0. The v2.29 ESR line is not affected. The fix is available in the following releases: | Release line | Patched version | |---|---| | 2.34 | [v2.34.2](https://github.com/coder/coder/releases/tag/v2.34.2) | | 2.33 | [v2.33.8](https://github.com/coder/coder/releases/tag/v2.33.8) | | 2.32 | [v2.32.7](https://github.com/coder/coder/releases/tag/v2.32.7) | ### Workarounds On suspension, delete the user's API keys via `DELETE /api/v2/users/{user}/keys`. ### Resources - Fix: #26173 ### Credits Coder would like to thank Anthropic's Security Team (ANT-2026-22446) for independently disclosing this issue!
