Description
Summary
`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.
> Note: 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.
Impact
A server administrator or an attacker who controlled the server, could inject a directive such as `ProxyCommand` and achieve arbitrary code execution on any developer workstation that ran `coder config-ssh`. Injected commands ran with the local user's privileges and applied to all SSH connections, not just Coder workspaces.
Patches
The fix validates `HostnameSuffix` and `SSHConfigOptions` against a strict character set that rejects newlines and other control characters.
The fix was backported to all supported release lines:
| Release line | Patched version |
|---|---|
| 2.34 | v2.34.2 |
| 2.33 | v2.33.8 |
| 2.32 | v2.32.7 |
| 2.29 (ESR) | v2.29.17 |
Workarounds
Inspect `coder config-ssh --dry-run` output before applying changes.
