DescriptionCVE.org

AshAi exposes Ash read actions to language-model tool calls. The read tool accepts an aggregate result type (min, max, sum, avg) that builds an ad-hoc Ash.Query.Aggregate over a named field and returns its raw value.

Ash field policies redact forbidden fields on returned records (replacing them with %Ash.ForbiddenField{}), but that redaction does not apply to aggregate values. A tool caller could therefore read a field the calling actor's field policies forbid by requesting it as an aggregate; min/max in particular return an actual field value. This includes fields that are public? true but restricted per-actor by a field policy, such as sensitive PII. The tool's existing check only required the field to be public, which is a separate axis from per-actor field-policy authorization.

The fix authorizes the aggregated field against the resource's field policies, so aggregating over a field the actor may not see is refused or scoped to the rows where it is visible.

This issue affects ash_ai: from 0.1.0 before 1.0.3.

AnalysisAI

Field policy bypass in ash_ai (versions 0.1.0 through < 1.0.3) allows authenticated, low-privilege actors to read per-actor-restricted fields - including sensitive PII - by invoking the aggregate result type (min, max, sum, avg) via the LLM read tool instead of direct record retrieval. Ash field policies redact forbidden fields on returned records by substituting %Ash.ForbiddenField{}, but this redaction mechanism was never applied to aggregate code paths; the tool's authorization check only tested field.public?, a static attribute orthogonal to per-actor policy evaluation. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Two specific conditions must both be true: (1) the deployment uses ash_ai's read tool to expose at least one Ash resource to LLM tool calls (ash_ai 0.1.0-1.0.3 must be installed and the read tool must be wired up); and (2) Ash field policies must be configured to restrict specific fields for at least one actor role - the bypass only yields unauthorized data when a field policy would have redacted a value for the calling actor. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Real-world risk is moderate and tightly scoped. … 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 1.0.3 or later, which incorporates the field-policy authorization check in the aggregate code path (patch commit 9c02de581625c342c9870a672830bff28c1d701e, advisory GHSA-v5rw-36x5-r5vx at https://github.com/ash-project/ash_ai/security/advisories/GHSA-v5rw-36x5-r5vx). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
