How to Fix CVE-2026-55429

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
github.com/coder/coder/v2 fixed: 2.29.17
Upgrade github.com/coder/coder/v2 to 2.29.17
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-2026-55429, 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-639: Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key, where the system's authorization functionality does not prevent one user from gaining access to another user's data or record by modifying the key value identifying the data. 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 `UpsertWorkspaceApp` overwrites an existing app's `agent_id` on a primary-key conflict and `insertAgentApp` accepts the app ID from the provisioner's `CompleteJob` payload without verifying it belongs to the workspace being built. `CompleteJob` runs under `dbauthz.AsProvisionerd` so the authorization layer does not block the cross-workspace upsert. > **Note:** Exploitation requires elevated access as a template author or external provisioner operator. ### Impact A user with template authorship or external provisioner access can submit a `CompleteJob` payload with a known victim app UUID and an attacker-controlled agent ID. On completion of the attacker's build the victim's app row is rebound to the attacker's agent so later app traffic such as IDE and terminal sessions is proxied to the attacker's workspace. App UUIDs are discoverable through the public API. ### Patches The fix verifies that any existing `workspace_apps` row matching the supplied ID belongs to the workspace being built and rejects cross-workspace agent reassignment. The fix was backported to all supported release lines: | 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) | | 2.29 (ESR) | [v2.29.17](https://github.com/coder/coder/releases/tag/v2.29.17) | ### Workarounds None. Upgrading is required. ### Resources - Fix: #26103 ### Credits Coder would like to thank Anthropic's Security Team (ANT-2026-22441) for independently disclosing this issue!
