CVE-2026-55436 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.4 · Published 2026-07-08

Coder, a platform for managing remote development environments, contains a security flaw in its AI Bridge Proxy component. In certain configurations, the system fails to verify the identity of the server it connects to, allowing a sophisticated attacker positioned on the network to intercept or modify sensitive data. This could lead to the exposure of development secrets or unauthorized access to the environment.

## Technical details

An improper certificate validation vulnerability (CWE-295) exists in Coder's AI Bridge Proxy (`aibridgeproxyd`). The component utilized a `goproxy` server that defaulted to `InsecureSkipVerify: true` unless an upstream proxy was explicitly configured. Consequently, in default deployments, outbound HTTPS requests to the Coder access URL would accept any TLS certificate. An attacker with a man-in-the-middle (MITM) position could intercept or alter traffic between the AI Bridge Proxy and the Coder server. The vulnerability is mitigated if the components are co-located on loopback. Patches in versions 2.32.7, 2.33.8, and 2.34.2 enforce secure transport (TLS 1.2+ with system root CAs) unconditionally.

## Affected products
