How severe is GHSA-3rw9-wmc8-8948?

No CVSS score has been assigned to GHSA-3rw9-wmc8-8948 yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-3rw9-wmc8-8948?

GHSA-3rw9-wmc8-8948 affects the following packages: github.com/coder/coder/v2 (Go). Ecosystems affected: Go.

How do I fix GHSA-3rw9-wmc8-8948?

Update github.com/coder/coder/v2 to 2.23.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-3rw9-wmc8-8948 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-3rw9-wmc8-8948 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 GHSA-3rw9-wmc8-8948 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

How does O3 Security protect against GHSA-3rw9-wmc8-8948?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-3rw9-wmc8-8948 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is GHSA-3rw9-wmc8-8948 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-3rw9-wmc8-8948 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.

Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Go packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

Summary

If users log in to Coder via OIDC, and the OpenID Identity Provider does not return a refresh token, then Coder may allow their web session to continue beyond the expiration of the token returned by the OpenID Identity Provider.

Details

When a user logs in via OIDC, Coder stores the OIDC token and refresh token (if any) in its datastore and sets an APIKey in the user's cookies. If there is a refresh token, then when the OIDC token is expired and a request is made with the APIKey, we attempt to refresh the OIDC token. If refresh fails, the Coder API request is also failed and the user needs to log in again.

However, if there is no refresh token provided, then affected versions of Coder fail to enforce the expiry of the OIDC token, and allow users to make API requests even if it is expired so long as their APIKey stored in cookies has not expired.

Coder APIKeys have an expiry and lifetime of 24 hours, but Coder is configured to extend the lifetime of the APIKey by up to 24 hours from the time it is used successfully. So, an APIKey that is used at least once every 24 hours will not expire. (This behavior can be disabled by configuration).

Impact

This could allow a user to access the Coder service beyond the lifetime of the token issued by the OpenID provider, potentially indefinitely, even if they are no loner authorized via OIDC.
