### Summary The `PUT /api/v2/users/{user}/password` endpoint authorized only `ActionUpdatePersonal` and did not prevent a `user-admin` from resetting an `owner` account's password. It also did not require the current password when an admin reset another user's password. > **Note:** Exploitation requires the privileged `user-admin` role so practical risk is limited to deployments that grant `user-admin` to less trusted operators. ### Impact A `user-admin` could reset any owner's password without knowing it, authenticate as that owner and gain full deployment control, including templates, workspaces, licensing, organization settings and the ability to self-assign the `owner` role. This was a privilege escalation from `user-admin` to `owner`. ### Patches The fix prevents non-owner users from resetting the password of an account that holds the `owner` role. The fix was backported to all supported release lines: | Release line | Patched version | |---|---| | 2.34 | [v2.34.2](https://github.com/coder/coder/releases/tag/v2.34.2) | | 2.33 | [v2.33.8](https://github.com/coder/coder/releases/tag/v2.33.8) | | 2.32 | [v2.32.7](https://github.com/coder/coder/releases/tag/v2.32.7) | | 2.29 (ESR) | [v2.29.17](https://github.com/coder/coder/releases/tag/v2.29.17) | ### Workarounds Restrict the `user-admin` role to trusted administrators until upgrading. ### Resources - Fix: #25709 ### Credits Coder would like to thank Anthropic's Security Team (ANT-2026-22436) for independently disclosing this issue!

AI coding agents often install or upgrade packages automatically in go. A high vulnerability in a dependency can be pulled into a project through a normal install or update without a human reviewing the change, expanding the blast radius from a single package to every agent workspace that depends on it.
