Coder < 2.29.7 / 2.30.x < 2.30.2 Workspace Auto-Creation Without Consent (CVE-2026-44454)

high Nessus Plugin ID 326279

Synopsis

The remote host has an application installed that is affected by a command injection vulnerability.

Description

The version of Coder installed on the remote host is prior to 2.29.7 or 2.30.x prior to 2.30.2. It is, therefore, affected by a command injection vulnerability.

The dotfiles registry module passed unsanitized user input to shell commands, enabling arbitrary code execution inside provisioned workspaces. A crafted dotfiles_uri value containing shell command substitution could achieve command execution. The mode=auto deep links amplified this into a one-click attack by prefilling param.dotfiles_uri and silently provisioning a workspace with no user confirmation.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update Coder to version 2.29.7 or 2.30.2 or later.
