DescriptionCVE.org

Improper Input Validation vulnerability in ash-project ash allows an attacker to persistently deny reads of a record by storing a non-version-7 UUID in an Ash.Type.UUIDv7 attribute.

Ash.Type.UUIDv7.cast_input/2 accepts any well-formed UUID string, including non-version-7 UUIDs, and stores it as a 16-byte binary. On read, cast_stored/2 (lib/ash/type/uuid_v7.ex) routes the stored binary back through cast_input/2, which since an input-validation tightening in v3.6.3 matches only version-7 (and optionally version-4) 16-byte binaries and otherwise expects a 36-character string. A stored non-v7 16-byte binary matches neither clause and returns :error, so every later read of that record fails. An attacker able to set such an attribute poisons the row permanently. The fix decodes any 16-byte stored binary directly in cast_stored/2.

This issue affects ash: from 3.6.3 before 3.32.2.

AnalysisAI

Persistent record-level denial of service in the ash Elixir resource framework (versions 3.6.3-3.32.1) lets any actor who can write a non-version-7 UUID into an Ash.Type.UUIDv7 attribute permanently break all subsequent reads of that database row. The root cause is a validation asymmetry introduced in v3.6.3: cast_input/2 was tightened to reject non-v7 16-byte binaries, but cast_stored/2 continued delegating to cast_input/2, so a stored non-v7 binary now returns :error on every read. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires three concurrent conditions: (1) the target application runs ash versions 3.6.3 through 3.32.1 and exposes at least one Ash.Type.UUIDv7 attribute in a resource; (2) the attacker controls a value that reaches that attribute's write path - via an API endpoint, form submission, message queue, or any other data-ingestion mechanism - without the strict_uuid7 option being set on the attribute (strict_uuid7 is opt-in and off by default); and (3) the supplied value is a syntactically well-formed but non-version-7 UUID. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The real-world risk is moderate and highly context-dependent. … 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 to version 3.32.2 or later, which resolves the issue by adding a dedicated cast_stored/2 clause (commit c453cdc0b8570e86ffef0d10e136247f52b3ea76) that decodes any 16-byte binary directly without delegating to the strict cast_input/2. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
