DescriptionCVE.org

Incorrect Authorization vulnerability in ash-project ash_graphql delivers GraphQL subscription payloads for records a subscriber is not authorized to see.

In AshGraphql.Subscription.Batcher, do_send/5 resolves the first notification of a batch and filters it with should_send?/1, which drops results whose errors are coded forbidden or not_found or carry no code, precisely so that unauthorized results are not disclosed. The remaining notifications in the batch are read from the process dictionary, re-run through the pipeline, and appended to the outgoing results without that filter. They reach pubsub.publish_subscription/2, and the not is_nil(record) guard drops only nil records, not error-carrying results. Any two qualifying notifications arriving within the default one-second batch interval suffice, and batching is the default path. The fix applies should_send?/1 to the whole batch.

This issue affects ash_graphql: from 1.4.0 before 1.11.0.

AnalysisAI

GraphQL subscription payloads carrying unauthorized record data leak to authenticated subscribers in ash_graphql 1.4.0-1.10.x due to a missing authorization filter in the batch-processing codepath of AshGraphql.Subscription.Batcher. When two or more subscription notifications arrive within the default one-second batching window, only the first is passed through the should_send?/1 authorization gate; all subsequent notifications in the same batch bypass that check entirely and are published to the subscriber's WebSocket connection. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Three conditions must hold simultaneously: (1) The attacker is an authenticated user with a valid GraphQL subscription open on ash_graphql (PR:L - unauthenticated exploitation is not possible); (2) at least two subscription notification events for records the attacker is not authorized to access must arrive within the same batch interval, which defaults to one second (AT:P - the specific timing prerequisite that prevents trivial single-event exploitation); (3) ash_graphql 1.4.0-1.10.x must be deployed with GraphQL subscriptions enabled and the Batcher running (batching is the default path). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 2.3 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L) correctly reflects a tightly constrained exploitability profile: the attacker must hold a valid authenticated subscriber session (PR:L), and two notifications for unauthorized records must coincide within the same batch window (AT:P - a specific timing prerequisite). … 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 to ash_graphql 1.11.0 or later, which applies should_send?/1 across the entire notification batch in AshGraphql.Subscription.Batcher, as delivered in patch commit e8e67f39add2ce0771e6db5f086afe68ba212c57. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
