Arbitrary file write via VSIX path traversal
Published Apr 6, 2026 · Updated Apr 6, 2026
Path traversal in Coder Code Extension Marketplace before 2.4.2 allows remote authenticated users to write arbitrary local files via a VSIX. ExtractZip forwards attacker-controlled ZIP entry names to AddExtension, which joins them to the extension directory without checking that the resolved path remains inside it. Any upload-capable role can target paths writable by the marketplace process, enabling persistence or code execution under its privileges.
