How severe is CVE-2026-55075?

CVE-2026-55075 has a CVSS score of 7.4/10, rated HIGH. Immediate patching is strongly recommended.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2026-55075?

CVE-2026-55075 affects the following packages: github.com/coder/coder/v2 (Go), github.com/coder/coder/v2 (Go), github.com/coder/coder/v2 (Go), github.com/coder/coder/v2 (Go). Ecosystems affected: Go.

How do I fix CVE-2026-55075?

Update github.com/coder/coder/v2 to 2.34.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-55075 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2026-55075 in my Go dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/coder/coder/v2, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate CVE-2026-55075 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Put an independent control in front of the weakness: restrict the affected endpoint or interface to trusted networks, require an additional authentication factor or proxy-level check, and invalidate existing sessions and credentials in case the flaw has already been used.

Is CVE-2026-55075 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2026-55075 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2026-55075?

CVE-2026-55075 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.5%, placing it in the 39th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2026-55075?

CVE-2026-55075 is classified as Improper Authentication (CWE-287), CWE-289 (CWE-289). These weakness types describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was CVE-2026-55075 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2026-55075 was published on July 7, 2026 and was last updated on August 12, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

Summary

Two flaws in Coder's OIDC login chained into account takeover: email-based user matching fell back to linking by email without checking for an existing link to a different IdP subject and the email_verified claim was only enforced when present as a boolean false so an absent or non-boolean claim was treated as verified.

Impact

An attacker who could authenticate at the configured OIDC provider with an email matching a victim's Coder account could log in as that victim and gain full access to their workspaces, templates and resources. This required OIDC authentication, attacker control of a matching email at the IdP and a victim account not yet linked to a different IdP subject.

Patches

The fix restricts the email fallback to first-time and legacy linking and defaults email_verified to false when the claim is absent or of an unexpected type.

The fix was backported to all supported release lines:

Release line	Patched version
2.34	v2.34.2
2.33	v2.33.8
2.32	v2.32.7
2.29 (ESR)	v2.29.17

Workarounds

Configure the OIDC provider to disallow self-registration or to require email verification before issuing tokens.

Resources

Fix: #25712, #25713
