CVE-2025-71435: Coder session expiration bypass via OIDC without refresh token

CVE-2025-71435 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.2 · Published 2026-10-17

Coder is a development environment management platform that enterprises use to provision remote development workspaces. A vulnerability allows authenticated users to maintain indefinite access to Coder even after their OIDC (OpenID Connect) authentication token expires, if the identity provider does not issue a refresh token. An attacker could exploit this to retain unauthorized access to development environments and systems after being revoked in the identity provider.

Technical details

When a user authenticates via OIDC without a refresh token, Coder fails to enforce the OIDC token expiry and allows continued API requests as long as the APIKey cookie remains valid. Coder's APIKey cookies have a 24-hour lifetime that automatically extends by up to 24 hours with each successful use, allowing indefinite session persistence. This affects versions before 2.23.0 and requires the attacker to be an already-authenticated user making requests at least once every 24 hours.
