"The version of Coder installed on the remote host is prior to 2.29.7 or 2.30.x prior to 2.30.2. It is, therefore,
affected by a command injection vulnerability.

The dotfiles registry module passed unsanitized user input to shell commands, enabling arbitrary code execution inside
provisioned workspaces. A crafted dotfiles_uri value containing shell command substitution could achieve command
execution. The mode=auto deep links amplified this into a one-click attack by prefilling param.dotfiles_uri and
silently provisioning a workspace with no user confirmation.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
