Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key vulnerability in ash-project ash_admin turns a record-lookup URL into an equality oracle over sensitive attributes.
AshAdmin.Helpers.decode_primary_key/2 decodes the composite-primary-key form (Base64 plus ETF) and returns the decoded map verbatim as the lookup filter, without checking that its keys are the resource's primary-key fields. The deserialization guards bound size, block new atoms and funs, and reject nested expressions, but none restricts which fields come back, and :safe still allows any already-interned attribute name. An attacker can therefore encode %{api_token: "guess"} and have it spliced into the lookup filter, brute-forcing a sensitive attribute value (API token, reset token) one equality guess at a time; Map.to_list/1 also accepts structs, yielding a bogus __struct__ key. The fix rejects any decoded key that is not a real primary-key field.
This issue affects ash_admin: from 0.1.0 before 1.3.1.
AnalysisAI
Composite primary key decoding in AshAdmin (ash_admin) versions 0.1.0 through 1.3.0 can be abused by authenticated users to turn any record-lookup URL into an equality oracle over arbitrary resource attributes. By crafting a Base64+ETF-encoded payload substituting a sensitive field name (e.g., api_token, reset_token) for an actual primary key, an attacker can brute-force secret attribute values one equality guess at a time. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires: (1) the attacker holds a valid AshAdmin session (authenticated, PR:L per CVSS 4.0); (2) the target resource has at least one sensitive non-primary-key attribute whose Elixir atom name is already interned in the BEAM runtime (all compiled resource attribute names qualify, since they are interned at compile time); (3) the attacker can distinguish a matching lookup result from a non-matching one via the HTTP response (status code, response body, or timing). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 2.3 accurately reflects constrained real-world impact. … 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_admin to version 1.3.1 or later; this is the only confirmed fix, applied via patch commit 3c3e905d47f1155dcc1ca3fb347348b05a66065a (https://github.com/ash-project/ash_admin/commit/3c3e905d47f1155dcc1ca3fb347348b05a66065a). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
