Summary

A vulnerability in Coder allows a denial-of-service (DoS) attack by uploading a crafted ZIP archive that, when converted to TAR in memory, has no aggregate limit on decompressed output. Exploitation requires authentication and file-upload access.

Risk Assessment

The organization risks memory exhaustion on the server by an authenticated user, leading to denial of service and potential disruption of development environments.

Recommendation

Immediately update Coder to versions 2.29.7, 2.32.7, 2.33.8, or 2.34.2. As a workaround, restrict file-upload permissions to trusted users or place a reverse proxy with request-body size limits in front of coderd.

Original NVD description (English source)

Coder allows organizations to provision remote development environments via Terraform. Starting in version 2.17.0 and prior to versions 2.29.7, 2.32.7, 2.33.8, and 2.34.2, `POST /api/v2/files` converts zip uploads to tar in memory via `CreateTarFromZip`, which enforced a per-entry size limit but no aggregate limit on total decompressed output, writing to an unbounded in-memory buffer. Exploitation requires authenticated file-upload access and the impact is limited to availability (denial of service). The fix in versions 2.29.7, 2.32.7, 2.33.8, and 2.34.2 adds a metadata preflight check that sums projected entry sizes and a streaming writer that enforces the aggregate limit during decompression. As a workaround, restrict file-upload permissions to trusted users or place a reverse proxy with request-body size limits in front of `coderd`.
