How to Fix CVE-2026-55436

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-2026-55436, 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-295: Improper Certificate Validation, where the product does not validate, or incorrectly validates, a certificate. 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 The AI Bridge Proxy (`aibridgeproxyd`) created a goproxy server whose default transport set `InsecureSkipVerify: true` and only assigned a secure transport when an upstream proxy was configured. In the default configuration (no upstream proxy), outbound HTTPS to the Coder access URL accepted any TLS certificate. > **Note:** Practical exploitation requires an on-path (man-in-the-middle) position between the AI Bridge Proxy and the Coder server. Deployments where they are co-located over loopback are effectively unaffected. ### Impact An attacker positioned between the proxy and the Coder server, via ARP spoofing, DNS poisoning or control of proxy environment variables, could intercept injected Coder session tokens, user-supplied provider API keys (BYOK) and full request and response bodies including prompts and completions. The default transport also honored `HTTP_PROXY` and `HTTPS_PROXY`, allowing environment-based traffic redirection. ### Patches The fix applies the secure transport (TLS 1.2 or higher using system root CAs) unconditionally. The AI Bridge Proxy was introduced in v2.30.0. Earlier release lines including the v2.29 ESR line are 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 Ensure the Coder access URL uses a trusted certificate and secure the network path between the AI Bridge Proxy and the Coder server (for example, loopback or mTLS). ### Resources - Fix: #26131 ### Credits Coder would like to thank Anthropic's Security Team (ANT-2026-22455) for independently disclosing this issue!
