DescriptionCVE.org

Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling vulnerability in ash-project ash_typescript allows an unauthenticated attacker to exhaust the BEAM atom table and abort the node via client-supplied typed struct field names.

resolve_typed_struct_field/2 in lib/ash_typescript/rpc/field_processing/field_selector.ex looks a client-supplied field name up in the typed struct's reverse map and, when it finds no match, falls back to String.to_atom/1. Because this runs before any field-existence check, an unresolvable name mints a permanent atom rather than being rejected as unknown. Atoms are never garbage collected, so a request carrying many distinct names on a typed struct field grows the atom table until the VM aborts at its limit.

This issue affects ash_typescript: from 0.11.0 before 0.18.0.

AnalysisAI

Unauthenticated BEAM atom table exhaustion in ash_typescript 0.11.0-0.17.x allows a remote attacker to abort the Erlang VM and take down the entire application node by sending RPC requests carrying many distinct, unrecognized field names targeting a typed struct field selector. The root cause is resolve_typed_struct_field/2 calling String.to_atom/1 on unresolvable client input before any field-existence validation, permanently minting atoms that the BEAM runtime never reclaims. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The target application must be running ash_typescript between 0.11.0 and 0.17.x and must expose at least one RPC endpoint backed by an Ash resource that includes a TypedStruct-typed attribute with `typescript_field_names/0` implemented, routing field selection through `select_typed_struct_fields/4`. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VA:H) scores 8.2, reflecting unauthenticated network exploitation with a high availability impact against the vulnerable system. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade ash_typescript to version 0.18.0 or later; this is the primary and complete fix as confirmed by the patch commit 0ab5c83a7df28d51a6de1fb9b859a142b2b12919 (https://github.com/ash-project/ash_typescript/commit/0ab5c83a7df28d51a6de1fb9b859a142b2b12919), which removes the `String.to_atom/1` call from the unresolvable field path entirely. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all systems running ash_typescript versions 0.11.0-0.17.x and restrict network access to RPC endpoints from untrusted sources if immediate patching is not feasible. …
