Summary

Coder before 2.34.7 trusts the leftmost X-Forwarded-For value supplied by the client instead of the address appended by a reverse proxy. An unauthenticated remote attacker can send forged X-Forwarded-For values through appending proxies (CWE-348). The forged values bypass per-IP rate limits on login, one-time passcode and password validation endpoints, enabling brute-force attacks and falsified IP addresses in audit logs.

Description from the CNA

Coder before 2.34.7 contains an IP spoofing vulnerability in the ExtractRealIPAddress middleware that trusts the leftmost, client-supplied X-Forwarded-For value instead of the client IP appended by a reverse proxy. Attackers can send forged X-Forwarded-For values through appending proxies to bypass per-IP rate limits on login, one-time passcode, and password validation endpoints, enabling brute-force attacks, and to falsify IP addresses recorded in audit logs.
