When a workspace is started, Coder generates a session token for the user, which is exposed via coder_workspace_owner.session_token. Prebuilt workspaces, owned by a built-in prebuilds system user, can be claimed by a different user. However, when a workspace is claimed, the previous session token for the prebuilds user is not expired, making it an exploitable vulnerability. Any Coder workspace <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ameeba.com\/blog\/cve-2025-59340-jinjava-template-engine-vulnerability-leading-to-potential-remote-code-execution\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"90427\">templates that persist this automatically generated session token are potentially<\/a> impacted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"ameeb-52476694\" class=\"ameeb-content ameeb-entity-placement\"><div class=\"poptin-embedded\" data-id=\"f6b387694f681\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\n<p>Let&#8217;s illustrate this with a conceptual example. Suppose an attacker has somehow gained <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ameeba.com\/blog\/cve-2025-3498-unauthenticated-user-access-and-modification-of-radiflow-isap-smart-collector-configuration\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"92252\">access to the prebuilds user&#8217;s<\/a> session token. The attacker could then use this token in the following way:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"\" data-line=\"\">GET \/coder_workspace\/ HTTP\/1.1\nHost: vulnerable-coder.com\nAuthorization: Bearer {prebuilds-user-session-token}\n{ &quot;workspace_id&quot;: &quot;...&quot; }<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>In this example, the attacker uses the prebuilds user&#8217;s session token to gain <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ameeba.com\/blog\/cve-2025-7051-unauthorized-access-and-manipulation-of-syslog-configuration-in-n-central\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"84620\">unauthorized access<\/a> to the workspace data. This could <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ameeba.com\/blog\/cve-2022-45134-critical-vulnerability-in-mahara-leading-to-potential-system-compromise\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"82863\">potentially lead to data leakage or a system<\/a> compromise.<br \/>\nPlease remember, this is a conceptual example and not an actual exploit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mitigation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ameeba.com\/blog\/cve-2025-46715-kernel-pointer-vulnerability-in-sandboxie-versions-prior-to-1-15-12\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"82806\">vulnerability is fixed in versions<\/a> 2.24.4 and 2.25.2 of Coder. Therefore, users are strongly recommended to update their software to these versions immediately. As a temporary mitigation measure, users can apply a vendor patch or use Web Application Firewall (WAF) and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS). Still, the most secure solution is to update to the patched versions of the software.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overview A significant cybersecurity vulnerability, CVE-2025-58437, has been detected in the platform Coder, which is widely used by organizations to provision remote development environments via Terraform.
