CVE-2026-55427 PUBLISHED

Coder vulnerable to SSH config injection via unsanitized server-supplied values in `coder config-ssh`

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 16.06.2026 Published: 07.07.2026 Updated: 08.07.2026

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.
