CVE-2024-27918 is a high-severity improper input validation vulnerability in github.com/coder/coder/v2 (go), affecting versions >= 2.8.0, < 2.8.4. It is fixed in 2.8.4, 2.7.3, 2.6.1.
Summary A vulnerability in Coder's OIDC authentication could allow an attacker to bypass the CODEROIDCEMAILDOMAIN verification and create an account with an email not in the allowlist. Deployments are only affected if the OIDC provider allows users to create accounts on the provider (such as public providers like google.com). Details During OIDC registration, the user's email was improperly validated against the allowed CODEROIDCEMAILDOMAINs. This could allow a user with a domain that only partially matched an allowed domain to successfully login or register (e.g. [email protected] would match the allowed domain corp.com). An attacker could register a domain name that exploited this vulnerability and register on a Coder instance with a public OIDC provider. Impact Coder instances with OIDC enabled and protected by the CODEROIDCEMAILDOMAIN configuration. Coder instances using a private OIDC provider are not affected, as arbitrary users cannot register through a private OIDC provider without first having an account on the provider. Public OIDC providers (such as google.com without permitted domains set on the OAuth2 App) are impacted. GitHub authentication and external authentication are not impacted. Was my deployment impacted? To check if your deployment was exploited: View the audit log on your deployment for unexpected registered users (using the action:register filter) Check the users list for unexpected users Users created via this exploit will have a domain that ends with one of the allowed domains but doesn’t fully match (e.g. @exploitcorp.com instead of @corp.com) Patched Versions This vulnerability is remedied in v2.8.4 v2.7.3 v2.6.1 All versions prior to these patches are affected by the vulnerability. It is recommended that customers upgrade their deployments as soon as possible if they are utilizing OIDC authentication with the CODEROIDCEMAILDOMAIN setting.

The application does not adequately validate input before processing it, allowing unexpected values to reach sensitive code paths. Typical impact: varies by context: data corruption, logic bypass, or denial of service.
CVE-2024-27918 has a CVSS score of 8.2 (High). The vector is network-reachable, no privileges required, and no user interaction. A CVSS score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether this affects your application depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable in your environment.
A fixed version is available (2.8.4, 2.7.3, 2.6.1). Upgrading removes the vulnerable code path.

It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.
Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter instead of chasing every advisory.

Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
