fix: validate agent-supplied AllowedIPs in coordinator (#26144)#26293
Merged
Conversation
`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. Fixes PLAT-264 (SEC-89): https://linear.app/codercom/issue/PLAT-264 <details> <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. </details> > Generated by Coder Agents on behalf of @f0ssel.
