Summary

Coder versions before 2.29.20, 2.33.0 before 2.33.12, 2.34.0 before 2.34.8, and 2.35.0 before 2.35.4 contain an improper hostname validation flaw (CWE-522) in GetWorkspaceProxyByHostname. Its SIMILAR TO pattern performs a prefix match, so any domain that is a string prefix of a workspace proxy access URL is trusted as a proxy. An attacker who owns such a domain can lure an authenticated victim to a crafted auth-redirect link, capture the redirected application_connect API key, and replay it to access the victim's workspace apps.

Description from the CNA

Coder before 2.29.20, 2.33.0 before 2.33.12, 2.34.0 before 2.34.8, and 2.35.0 before 2.35.4 contains an improper hostname validation flaw in GetWorkspaceProxyByHostname whose SIMILAR TO pattern performs a prefix match, so any domain that is a string prefix of a workspace-proxy access URL is trusted as a proxy. Attackers owning such a domain can lure an authenticated victim to a crafted /api/v2/applications/auth-redirect link, capture the redirected application_connect API key, and replay it to access the victim's workspace apps.
