CVE-2026-55433 - Coder: Devcontainer recreate endpoint missing write authorization allows read-only roles to destroy containers

CVE ID :CVE-2026-55433
Published : July 8, 2026, 1:16 a.m. | 3 hours, 29 minutes ago
Description :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, the devcontainer recreate endpoint relied on route middleware that checked only `ActionRead` on the workspace and, unlike the sibling delete endpoint, performed no `ActionUpdate` check before triggering the destructive rebuild. Exploitation requires an existing low-privilege role with access to the target workspace. The fix in versions 2.29.7, 2.32.7, 2.33.8, and 2.34.2 adds an explicit `ActionUpdate` authorization check before the agent is dialed like the delete endpoint. No known workarounds are available.
Severity: 5.4 | MEDIUM
