GHSA-7cc2-r658-7xpf has a CVSS score of 8.2/10, rated HIGH. Immediate patching is strongly recommended.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-7cc2-r658-7xpf?

GHSA-7cc2-r658-7xpf 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 (Go). Ecosystems affected: Go.

How do I fix GHSA-7cc2-r658-7xpf?

Update github.com/coder/coder/v2 to 2.8.4 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-7cc2-r658-7xpf is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-7cc2-r658-7xpf 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. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

How do I mitigate GHSA-7cc2-r658-7xpf 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-7cc2-r658-7xpf?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-7cc2-r658-7xpf is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is GHSA-7cc2-r658-7xpf actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-7cc2-r658-7xpf 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 GHSA-7cc2-r658-7xpf?

GHSA-7cc2-r658-7xpf has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 1.0%, placing it in the 57th 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 GHSA-7cc2-r658-7xpf?

GHSA-7cc2-r658-7xpf is classified as Improper Input Validation (CWE-20). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was GHSA-7cc2-r658-7xpf published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-7cc2-r658-7xpf was published on March 4, 2024 and was last updated on March 21, 2024. 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

A vulnerability in Coder's OIDC authentication could allow an attacker to bypass the CODER_OIDC_EMAIL_DOMAIN verification and create an account with an email not in the allowlist. Deployments are only affected if the OIDC provider allows users to create accounts on the provider (such as public providers like google.com).

Details

During OIDC registration, the user's email was improperly validated against the allowed CODER_OIDC_EMAIL_DOMAINs. This could allow a user with a domain that only partially matched an allowed domain to successfully login or register (e.g. [email protected] would match the allowed domain corp.com).

An attacker could register a domain name that exploited this vulnerability and register on a Coder instance with a public OIDC provider.

Impact

Coder instances with OIDC enabled and protected by the CODER_OIDC_EMAIL_DOMAIN configuration.

Coder instances using a private OIDC provider are not affected, as arbitrary users cannot register through a private OIDC provider without first having an account on the provider.

Public OIDC providers (such as google.com without permitted domains set on the OAuth2 App) are impacted.

GitHub authentication and external authentication are not impacted.

Was my deployment impacted?

To check if your deployment was exploited:

View the audit log on your deployment for unexpected registered users (using the action:register filter)
Check the users list for unexpected users
- Users created via this exploit will have a domain that ends with one of the allowed domains but doesn’t fully match (e.g. @exploitcorp.com instead of @corp.com)

Patched Versions

This vulnerability is remedied in

v2.8.4
v2.7.3
v2.6.1

All versions prior to these patches are affected by the vulnerability. It is recommended that customers upgrade their deployments as soon as possible if they are utilizing OIDC authentication with the CODER_OIDC_EMAIL_DOMAIN setting.
