Garrett Delfosse 9b351c3602 fix: validate agent-supplied AllowedIPs in coordinator (#26144)
`AgentCoordinateeAuth.Authorize` validated every prefix in
`upd.Node.Addresses` (each must be a `/128` derived from the
authenticating agent's own UUID) but applied no equivalent check to
`upd.Node.AllowedIps`. Because `AllowedIPs` are installed verbatim into
the WireGuard peer config (`tailnet/configmaps.go`) and WireGuard
routing is driven by `AllowedIPs`, a malicious agent could advertise a
victim agent's `/128` and become an eligible route for that IP. With
`ServerTailnet` tunneling to many agents and routing by destination IP,
this could let an attacker intercept sessions intended for the victim
workspace.

This applies the same UUID-derivation validation to `AllowedIps` that
already guards `Addresses`, extracted into a shared
`authorizeNodePrefixes` helper. The check is the single chokepoint used
by both the in-memory coordinator (`tailnet/coordinator.go`) and the
Postgres coordinator (`enterprise/tailnet/connio.go`), so one fix covers
both. Legitimate agents are unaffected: an agent's `AllowedIPs` is a
clone of its `Addresses` (`tailnet/node.go`), which are already
UUID-derived `/128`s.

<summary>Implementation notes and decision log</summary>

### Root cause

Asymmetric validation in `tailnet/tunnel.go`: `Addresses` were bound to
the agent's UUID, but `AllowedIps` were trusted as-is and propagated
into the WireGuard peer config, which drives routing.

### Why the fix is safe for legitimate agents

- `tailnet/node.go` builds the node with `AllowedIPs:
slices.Clone(u.addresses)`, identical to `Addresses`.
- `agent/agent.go` sets those addresses to
`TailscaleServicePrefix.PrefixFromUUID(agentID)` and
`CoderServicePrefix.PrefixFromUUID(agentID)` (both `/128`,
UUID-derived).
- The existing `Addresses` check already accepts exactly those prefixes
plus the legacy workspace agent IP, so identical validation of
`AllowedIPs` passes for real traffic and only rejects forged prefixes.

### Coverage: one method, both coordinators

`AgentCoordinateeAuth.Authorize` is the shared auth path. A failed
`Authorize` is wrapped as `AuthorizationError{Wrapped: err}` and closes
the agent's response stream.

### Tests

- `tailnet/tunnel_internal_test.go`: fast unit tests on `Authorize`
(valid AllowedIPs accepted; foreign `/128` rejected with
`InvalidNodeAddressError`; wrong-bits rejected with
`InvalidAddressBitsError`).
- `tailnet/coordinator_test.go`: in-memory coordinator closes the agent
stream on a forged `AllowedIp`.
- `enterprise/tailnet/pgcoord_test.go`: same regression for the Postgres
coordinator.

Verified the regression tests fail when the new `AllowedIps` check is
disabled, then pass with it enabled. Local validation: targeted tests
(in-memory, internal, and Postgres-backed enterprise), plus `make
pre-commit` (gen/fmt/lint/build) passing.

Coder is a self-hosted platform for cloud development environments and AI coding agents. Workspaces are defined with Terraform, connected through a secure Wireguard® tunnel, and automatically shut down when not used. Coder Agents runs a native AI coding agent whose loop executes in the control plane on your infrastructure, with no API keys in workspaces.

  • Define cloud development environments in Terraform
    • EC2 VMs, Kubernetes Pods, Docker Containers, etc.
  • Automatically shutdown idle resources to save on costs
  • Onboard developers in seconds instead of days
  • Delegate coding work to AI agents on your infrastructure
    • Bring any model (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Bedrock, self-hosted)
    • No LLM credentials in workspaces, user identity on every action
    • Centralized model governance, cost tracking, and audit logging

Coder platform showing templates and a running workspace

Quickstart

The most convenient way to try Coder is to install it on your local machine and experiment with provisioning cloud development environments using Docker (works on Linux, macOS, and Windows).

# First, install Coder
curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh

# Start the Coder server (caches data in ~/.cache/coder)
coder server

# Navigate to http://localhost:3000 to create your initial user,
# create a Docker template and provision a workspace

Install

The easiest way to install Coder is to use the install script for Linux and macOS. For Windows, use the latest ..._installer.exe file from GitHub Releases.

curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh

You can run the install script with --dry-run to see the commands that will be used to install without executing them. Run the install script with --help for additional flags.

See install for additional methods.

Once installed, you can start a production deployment with a single command:

# Automatically sets up an external access URL on *.try.coder.app
coder server

# Requires a PostgreSQL instance (version 13 or higher) and external access URL
coder server --postgres-url <url> --access-url <url>

Use coder --help to get a list of flags and environment variables. See the install guides for a complete tutorial.
