Summary

A vulnerability in Coder allows injection of arbitrary SSH configuration into the user's ~/.ssh/config via unsanitized HostnameSuffix and SSHConfigOptions values supplied by the server. Exploitation requires control over the Coder server (malicious deployment, MITM attack, or admin access).

Risk Assessment

The organization is at risk of SSH connection hijacking, leading to unauthorized access to remote development environments and potential privilege escalation.

Recommendation

Immediately update Coder to versions 2.29.7, 2.32.7, 2.33.8, or 2.34.2. As a temporary workaround, inspect the output of `coder config-ssh --dry-run` before applying changes.

Original NVD description (English source)

Coder allows organizations to provision remote development environments via Terraform. Prior to versions 2.29.7, 2.32.7, 2.33.8, and 2.34.2, `coder config-ssh` wrote server-supplied SSH settings (`HostnameSuffix`, `SSHConfigOptions`) into the user's `~/.ssh/config` without sanitizing embedded newlines or restricting directives so a malicious or compromised Coder server could inject arbitrary SSH configuration. Practical exploitation requires control of the server-supplied values through a malicious or compromised deployment, a man-in-the-middle position or admin access to the `HostnameSuffix` and `SSHConfigOptions` settings. The fix in versions 2.29.7, 2.32.7, 2.33.8, and 2.34.2 validates `HostnameSuffix` and `SSHConfigOptions` against a strict character set that rejects newlines and other control characters. As a workaround, inspect `coder config-ssh --dry-run` output before applying changes.
