Coder allows organizations to provision remote development environments via Terraform. Prior to versions 2.29.7, 2.32.7, 2.33.8, and 2.34.2, 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. Exploitation requires an existing low-privilege role with access to the target workspace. The fix in versions 2.29.7, 2.32.7, 2.33.8, and 2.34.2 adds an explicit `ActionUpdate` authorization check before the agent is dialed like the delete endpoint. No known workarounds are available.

Coder: Devcontainer recreate endpoint missing write authorization allows read-only roles to destroy containers
### 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.
