Coder: User-admin role can reset owner account password
Description
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 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. Exploitation requires the privileged user-admin role so practical risk is limited to deployments that grant user-admin to less trusted operators. The fix in versions 2.29.7, 2.32.7, 2.33.8, and 2.34.2 prevents non-owner users from resetting the password of an account that holds the owner role. As a workaround, restrict the user-admin role to trusted administrators.
