Summary

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

Details

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.

Title

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

Summary

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.
