Impact
The createProject function in coder‑api allows a local user to inject arbitrary system commands. The flaw stems from interpreting unsanitized input as part of the command line, matching CWE‑74 and CWE‑77. An attacker who can execute code on the host can run arbitrary commands with the permissions of the coder‑api process, leading to potential system compromise.
Affected Systems
This bug affects MauricioMilano’s coder‑api component up to version 1.1.0. Any installation of coder‑api v1.1.0 or earlier that exposes the createProject endpoint is vulnerable.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score is 4.8, indicating a moderate risk. EPSS is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. The attack vector is local; an attacker needs access to the host running coder‑api. Because there is no patch yet, the current risk remains passive until remedied.
