Description

Summary

An issue on Coder's login page allows attackers to craft a Coder URL that when clicked by a logged in user could redirect them to a website the attacker controls, e.g. https://google.com.

Details

On the login page, Coder checks for the presence of a redirect query parameter. On successful login, the user would be redirected to the location of the parameter. Improper sanitization allows attackers to specify a URL outside of the Coder application to redirect users to.

Impact

Coder users could potentially be redirected to a untrusted website if tricked into clicking a URL crafted by the attacker. Coder authentication tokens are not leaked to the resulting website.

To check if your deployment is vulnerable, visit the following URL for your Coder deployment:

  • https://<coder url>/login?redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fcoder.com%2Fdocs

Patched Versions

This vulnerability is remedied in

  • v2.16.1
  • v2.15.3
  • v2.14.4

All versions prior to 2.3.1 are not affected.

Thanks

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
