PR:L because a valid session is required; S:C because atom exhaustion crashes the whole BEAM node, affecting all co-hosted applications beyond ash_admin's own scope.

Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling vulnerability in ash-project ash_admin lets any client that can reach the admin LiveView exhaust the BEAM atom table and crash the entire node.
Two LiveView event handlers interned atoms from unvalidated client input: AshAdmin.PageLive's set_actor built modules from the resource/domain payload with Module.concat/1, and AshAdmin.Components.Resource.Show's calculate converted every submitted form key with String.to_atom/1. Atoms are never garbage collected and the table is capped, so flooding either event with random names mints a new atom per request until the VM aborts, taking down every application on the node. The fix resolves the submitted resource/domain against the known shown resources and maps calculation keys to declared arguments, so no client-supplied string is interned.
This issue affects ash_admin: from 0.1.0 before 1.3.1.
AnalysisAI
Atom table exhaustion in ash_admin's Phoenix LiveView event handlers allows any authenticated user reaching the admin interface to crash the entire BEAM VM node. Two handlers - AshAdmin.PageLive's set_actor and AshAdmin.Components.Resource.Show's calculate - passed unvalidated client strings directly to Module.concat/1 and String.to_atom/1 respectively, minting a permanent new atom per unique request. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a valid authenticated session with at least low-privilege access to the ash_admin LiveView interface, as indicated by PR:L in the CVSS 4.0 vector. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VA:H/SA:H) accurately represents the threat surface: network-reachable, low complexity, requiring only a low-privilege session, with high availability impact on both the vulnerable system and subsequent systems sharing the node. … 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 release contains the fix at commit 731dffa09416d68f4ad3a0b6ee146b285ca0083b, which eliminates both vulnerable atom-minting call sites. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
