Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory (Path Traversal) vulnerability in ash-project ash_admin allows writing attacker-controlled bytes to arbitrary paths on the server.
AshAdmin.Components.Resource.Form.consume_file_uploads/1 builds the destination as Path.join([tmp_dir, entry.client_name]) and writes it with File.cp!/2. entry.client_name is the browser-supplied filename and is not sanitized, and Path.join/1 does not normalize ... An upload named ../../../../var/www/app/priv/static/x.png therefore escapes the random temp directory and lands anywhere the BEAM user can write, enabling arbitrary file write and potentially remote code execution by overwriting application assets, configuration, or cron/ssh files. The only guard is an extension allowlist defaulting to :any that checks only the extension. The fix strips path components with Path.basename/1 before joining.
This issue affects ash_admin: from 0.13.7 before 1.3.1.
AnalysisAI
Arbitrary file write via path traversal in AshAdmin's file upload handler affects versions 0.13.7 through 1.3.0, enabling any authenticated admin user to write attacker-controlled bytes to any filesystem path writable by the BEAM process. The root cause is that browser-supplied filenames are concatenated into upload paths via Elixir's Path.join/1 without stripping directory components, so a crafted filename such as ../../../../var/www/app/priv/static/evil.ex escapes the randomized temp directory. …
