Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
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, the workspace app proxy resolves the target app from `httpapi.RequestHost()` which prefers the `X-Forwarded-Host` header over the real `Host` header. No middleware strips `X-Forwarded-Host` before routing and the header is not browser-forbidden so client-side JavaScript can set it on `fetch()` calls. Practical exploitation requires subdomain app routing (wildcard hostname) enabled, a victim who visits the attacker's shared app and a deployment whose upstream proxy does not strip `X-Forwarded-Host`. The fix in versions 2.29.7, 2.32.7, 2.33.8, and 2.34.2 trusts `X-Forwarded-Host` only from configured trusted proxies and otherwise resolves the routing host from the verified request host. As a workaround, place an upstream reverse proxy that strips or overwrites `X-Forwarded-Host` on untrusted requests.

Recommended fix High confidence

Upgrade to Coder 2.34.2 (latest stable release with fix)

  1. Identify your current Coder version using `coder version` or checking the deployment
  2. Determine which version branch you are on (2.29.x, 2.30.x-2.32.x, 2.33.x, or 2.34.x)
  3. For 2.29.x branch: upgrade to version 2.29.7 or later
  4. For 2.30.x-2.32.x branch: upgrade to version 2.32.7 or later
  5. For 2.33.x branch: upgrade to version 2.33.8 or later
  6. For 2.34.x branch: upgrade to version 2.34.2 or later
  7. Alternatively, if upgrade is not immediately possible, configure an upstream reverse proxy to strip or overwrite the X-Forwarded-Host header before requests reach Coder
  8. If using wildcard hostname routing, verify the fix is working by testing that X-Forwarded-Host cannot be manipulated to redirect to arbitrary hosts
