Network-reachable unauthenticated endpoint; exploitation trivial once vulnerable prompt action exists; full RCE yields scope change to OS level (S:C).

DescriptionCVE.org

Improper Control of Generation of Code (Code Injection) vulnerability in ash-project ash_ai allows a remote, unauthenticated client to execute arbitrary Elixir code.

AshAi.Actions.Prompt evaluates prompt content through EEx.eval_string/2. The documented prompt: fn input, context -> ... end form lets the prompt content be built from action arguments, so when a prompt action's text incorporates request data, that attacker-controlled text is compiled and run as an EEx template (Elixir source). Content such as <%= System.cmd(...) %> therefore executes on the server before any model request is made, requiring no authentication beyond reaching a prompt action. The fix stops evaluating function-supplied prompt content as EEx; only statically configured templates are evaluated.

This issue affects ash_ai: from 0.1.0 before 1.0.0.

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in ash_ai (versions 0.1.0 through pre-1.0.0) allows unauthenticated network attackers to execute arbitrary Elixir code on the server by submitting EEx template payloads through prompt action arguments. The AshAi.Actions.Prompt module incorrectly passed function-supplied prompt content - which is frequently assembled from user-controlled action arguments - through EEx.eval_string/2 before forwarding to the AI model, meaning payloads like <%= System.cmd("id", []) %> execute server-side with application process privileges. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The target application must use ash_ai and define at least one Ash action with the function-form prompt configuration (prompt: fn input, context -> ... … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The vendor-assigned CVSS 4.0 score of 8.9 is directionally reasonable given the full-RCE outcome, but the provided vector contains a material discrepancy: AV:L (local attack vector) directly contradicts the description's explicit assertion of 'remote, unauthenticated client' exploitation - a network-reachable HTTP endpoint cannot carry a local attack vector, and this appears to be a scoring error. … 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_ai to version 1.0.0 or later, which contains the fix at commit e9948254b5659c1143b73dc2f59f457931e64514; this is the only confirmed vendor-released patch. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all systems and applications running ash_ai versions 0.1.0 through pre-1.0.0 and download the vendor-released patch; test the patch in a non-production environment to confirm application compatibility. …
