CVE-2026-55077: Coder: User-admin role can reset owner account password
The PUT /api/v2/users/{user}/password endpoint authorized only ActionUpdatePersonal and did not prevent a user-admin from resetting an owner account’s password. It also did not require the current password when an admin reset another user’s password.
Note: Exploitation requires the privileged
user-adminrole so practical risk is limited to deployments that grantuser-adminto less trusted operators.
