CVE-2026-55436: Coder's AI Bridge Proxy skips TLS certificate verification in default configuration
The AI Bridge Proxy (aibridgeproxyd) created a goproxy server whose default transport set InsecureSkipVerify: true and only assigned a secure transport when an upstream proxy was configured. In the default configuration (no upstream proxy), outbound HTTPS to the Coder access URL accepted any TLS certificate.
Note: Practical exploitation requires an on-path (man-in-the-middle) position between the AI Bridge Proxy and the Coder server. Deployments where they are co-located over loopback are effectively unaffected.
