V2: Coder's AI Bridge Proxy skips TLS certificate verification in default configuration (CVE-2026-55436)
### Summary The AI Bridge Proxy (`aibridgeproxyd`) created a goproxy server whose default transport set `InsecureSkipVerify: true` and only assigned a secure transport when an upstream proxy was configured. In the default configuration (no upstream proxy), outbound HTTPS to the Coder access URL accepted any TLS certificate. > **Note:** Practical exploitation requires an on-path (man-in-the-middle) position between the AI Bridge Proxy and the Coder server. Deployments where they are co-located over loopback are effectively unaffected. ### Impact An attacker positioned between the proxy and the Coder server, via ARP spoofing, DNS poisoning or control of proxy environment variables, could intercept injected Coder session tokens, user-supplied provider API keys (BYOK) and full request and response bodies including prompts and completions. The default transport also honored `HTTP_PROXY` and `HTTPS_PROXY`, allowing environment-based traffic redirection. ### Patches The fix applies the secure transport (TLS 1.2 or higher using system root CAs) unconditionally. The AI Bridge Proxy was introduced in v2.30.0. Earlier release lines including the v2.29 ESR line are not affected. The fix is available in the following releases: | Release line | Patched version | |---|---| | 2.34 | [v2.34.2](https://github.com/coder/coder/releases/tag/v2.34.2) | | 2.33 | [v2.33.8](https://github.com/coder/coder/releases/tag/v2.33.8) | | 2.32 | [v2.32.7](https://github.com/coder/coder/releases/tag/v2.32.7) | ### Workarounds Ensure the Coder access URL uses a trusted certificate and secure the network path between the AI Bridge Proxy and the Coder server (for example, loopback or mTLS). ### Resources - Fix: #26131 ### Credits Coder would like to thank Anthropic's Security Team (ANT-2026-22455) for independently disclosing this issue!
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The AI Bridge Proxy (aibridgeproxyd) in Coder's product created a goproxy server with a default transport configuration that set InsecureSkipVerify to true, effectively disabling TLS certificate verification for outbound HTTPS connections when no upstream proxy was configured. This means that in default setups, the proxy accepted any TLS certificate from the Coder access URL, exposing the connection to man-in-the-middle attacks. An attacker positioned on the network path between the proxy and the Coder server could intercept sensitive information such as Coder session tokens, user-supplied provider API keys, and full request and response bodies. The default transport also respected HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables, allowing traffic redirection via environment manipulation. The vulnerability affects versions starting from 2.30.0 up to but excluding 2.32.7, 2.33.8, and 2.34.2, where the issue is fixed by applying secure TLS transport (TLS 1.2 or higher with system root CAs) unconditionally. Earlier versions before 2.30.0 are not affected as the AI Bridge Proxy was introduced in 2.30.0. Workarounds include ensuring trusted certificates on the Coder access URL and securing the network path between the proxy and server, for example by using loopback or mTLS.
Potential Impact
An attacker with network position between the AI Bridge Proxy and the Coder server can intercept and potentially manipulate sensitive data including session tokens, API keys, and request/response payloads due to the lack of TLS certificate verification in default configurations. This compromises confidentiality and integrity of communications. The vulnerability does not affect deployments where the proxy and server communicate over loopback or otherwise secured channels. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
A fix is available and has been released in versions 2.32.7, 2.33.8, and 2.34.2 of Coder. Users should upgrade to these or later versions to ensure TLS certificate verification is enforced unconditionally. Until patched, users should secure the network path between the AI Bridge Proxy and the Coder server, for example by using loopback interfaces or mutual TLS (mTLS), and ensure the Coder access URL uses a trusted TLS certificate. The vendor advisory confirms the fix and recommends these workarounds.
