Coder: Route hijacking through lack of validation of agent-supplied AllowedIPs in tailnet coordinator
### Summary The tailnet coordinator validates that an agent's `Addresses` derive from its authenticated UUID but applies no equivalent check to `AllowedIPs`. The coordinator forwards agent-supplied `AllowedIPs` verbatim to tunnel peers which install them into the WireGuard peer configuration. ### Impact A malicious workspace agent can advertise arbitrary `AllowedIPs` prefixes including another agent's tailnet address. Coder's `ServerTailnet` routes to agents by tailnet IP so an agent that claims a victim's prefix can intercept web terminal and workspace app traffic and serve spoofed content. Exploitation requires an authenticated user with a running workspace and a modified agent binary. ### Patches The fix validates each `AllowedIPs` prefix against the authenticating agent's UUID just like `Addresses`. The fix was backported to all supported release lines: | Release line | Patched version | |---|---| | 2.34 | [v2.34.2](https://github.com/coder/coder/releases/tag/v2.34.2) | | 2.33 | [v2.33.8](https://github.com/coder/coder/releases/tag/v2.33.8) | | 2.32 | [v2.32.7](https://github.com/coder/coder/releases/tag/v2.32.7) | | 2.29 (ESR) | [v2.29.17](https://github.com/coder/coder/releases/tag/v2.29.17) | ### Workarounds Operators who cannot upgrade immediately should monitor coordinator logs for agents advertising unexpected `AllowedIPs` prefixes. ### Resources - Fix: #26144 ### Credits Coder would like to thank Anthropic's Security Team (ANT-2026-22451) for independently disclosing this issue!
