Description
Coder allows organizations to provision remote development environments via Terraform. Starting in version 2.33.0 and prior to versions 2.33.8 and 2.34.2, AI Bridge provider handlers read request bodies with `io.ReadAll` without a maximum size so an authenticated user with AI Bridge access could send an arbitrarily large body and exhaust memory. Exploitation requires authenticated access to the AI Bridge endpoints and the impact is limited to availability (denial of service). Versions 2.33.8 and 2.34.2 patch the issue. No known workarounds are available.

AI Analysis

Impact

Coder’s AI Bridge provider controllers take request bodies with io.ReadAll without imposing a size limit. An authenticated user who can reach the AI Bridge endpoints can send an arbitrarily large body, causing the server process to consume excessive heap memory and eventually crash. This flaw exemplifies uncontrolled resource consumption, classified as CWE‑770. The attack does not compromise confidentiality or integrity; it simply disrupts service availability for the affected organization.

Affected Systems

The flaw is present in the Coder application from version 2.33.0 up to, but not including, releases 2.33.8 and 2.34.2. The affected product is Coder, the remote development environment provisioning platform, accessible through its Terraform integration and AI Bridge APIs.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability is assigned a moderate CVSS score of 6.5. The EPSS score is < 1 the CISA KEV catalog. Because the attacker must be authenticated and have AI Bridge access, the threat is constrained to users with appropriate privileges within an organization. The impact is limited to availability, and no publicly documented evasions or workarounds exist.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Coder to version 2.33.8 or 2.34.2 or later, which includes the request size limit fix.
  • Ensure that only trusted, authenticated users have access to the AI Bridge endpoints by applying least‑privilege access controls or disabling the feature for untrusted accounts.
  • After updating, monitor application memory., to mitigate any remaining risk of resource exhaustion.
