Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Summary
The devcontainer recreate endpoint relied on route middleware that checked only `ActionRead` on the workspace and, unlike the sibling delete endpoint, performed no `ActionUpdate` check before triggering the destructive rebuild.
> **Note:** Exploitation requires an existing low-privilege role with access to the target workspace.
### Impact
Any authenticated principal with read-only workspace access, such as a Template Admin or Org Template Admin, could recreate a devcontainer, destroying uncommitted in-container state and, if called repeatedly, denying service. This is an authorization bypass leading to data loss and denial of service.
### Patches
The fix adds an explicit `ActionUpdate` authorization check before the agent is dialed like the delete endpoint.
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) |

| 2.29 (ESR) | [v2.29.17](https://github.com/coder/coder/releases/tag/v2.29.17) |
