CVE-2026-55428: Coder Route Hijacking Through Lack Of Vulnerability
HIGHCVE-2026-55428 is a HIGH (CVSS 8.2) route hijacking through lack of vulnerability (CWE-285: Improper Authorization) affecting Coder libraries in the Go ecosystem. The issue involves route hijacking through lack of validation of agent-supplied allowedips in tailnet coordinator. Remediation is available by upgrading affected packages to version 2.34.2, 2.33.8, 2.32.7, 2.29.17.

How to Fix CVE-2026-55428
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Coder dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
Upgrade github.com/coder/coder/v2 to 2.34.2
Upgrade github.com/coder/coder/v2 to 2.33.8
Upgrade github.com/coder/coder/v2 to 2.32.7
Upgrade github.com/coder/coder/v2 to 2.29.17
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-2026-55428, inspect your project dependencies for Coder:
inspect dependencies for github.com/coder/coder/v2
Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Coder 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

"details" : "### Summary\n\nThe 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.\n\n### Impact\n\nA 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.\n\n### Patches\n\nThe fix validates each `AllowedIPs` prefix against the authenticating agent's UUID just like `Addresses`.\n\nThe fix was backported to all supported release lines:\n\n| Release line | Patched version |\n|---|---|\n| 2.34 | [v2.34.2](https://github.com/coder/coder/releases/tag/v2.34.2) |\n| 2.33 | [v2.33.8](https://github.com/coder/coder/releases/tag/v2.33.8) |\n| 2.32 | [v2.32.7](https://github.com/coder/coder/releases/tag/v2.32.7) |\n| 2.29 (ESR) | [v2.29.17](https://github.com/coder/coder/releases/tag/v2.29.17) |\n\n### Workarounds\n\nOperators who cannot upgrade immediately should monitor coordinator logs for agents advertising unexpected `AllowedIPs` prefixes.\n\n### Resources\n\n- Fix: #26144\n\n### Credits\n\nCoder would like to thank Anthropic's Security Team (ANT-2026-22451) for independently disclosing this issue!",
