Coder's unbounded memory allocation in provisioner file upload allows authenticated denial of service

Published Jul 6, 2026·Updated Jul 6, 2026

NVD Description

### Summary `NewDataBuilder` in `provisionersdk/proto/dataupload.go` allocated a byte slice using the client-supplied `FileSize` from a `DataUpload` message without an upper-bound check. Although the DRPC wire limit is 4 MiB, the `FileSize` value itself was unconstrained ### Impact An authenticated user able to reach the provisioner daemon serve endpoint could send a roughly 50-byte message declaring a huge `FileSize` (for example 1 TiB), triggering an unrecoverable Go out-of-memory abort that terminates `coderd`. This is a single-message denial of service affecting the entire deployment. ### Patches The fix validates `FileSize` against an upper bound (`MaxFileSize = 100 MiB`) before allocation. 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 access to the provisioner daemon serve endpoint to trusted provisioner daemon service accounts. ### Resources - Fix: #25710 ### Credits Coder would like to thank Anthropic's Security Team (ANT-2026-22442) for independently disclosing this issue!
