DescriptionCVE.org

Improper Access Control vulnerability in ash-project ash lets a create action overwrite an existing record when the ETS or Mnesia data layer is used, because neither enforced primary-key uniqueness on insert.

Unlike a SQL data layer, whose unique primary-key constraint rejects a duplicate, the ETS and Mnesia data layers implemented create as a keyed insert that replaces any existing entry with the same primary key (lib/ash/data_layer/ets/ets.ex, lib/ash/data_layer/mnesia/mnesia.ex). An actor who can set the primary key on a create (for example a user-supplied string or integer key) can submit a create whose key matches an existing record and silently overwrite it, destroying and replacing another entity's data without going through the update action or its policies. The fix rejects a create whose primary key already exists with an already-taken error, and only allows duplicates for keyless resources.

This issue affects ash: from 0.4.0 before 3.32.2.

AnalysisAI

Silent record overwrite in Ash's ETS and Mnesia data layers allows any actor who can supply a primary key on a create action to replace an existing record without triggering update action authorization policies. Versions 0.4.0 through 3.32.1 are affected; only deployments using the ETS or Mnesia data layer - not SQL-backed layers - are vulnerable. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires all three of the following conditions simultaneously: (1) the targeted Ash resource must use the ETS (Ash.DataLayer.Ets) or Mnesia (Ash.DataLayer.Mnesia) data layer - resources backed by SQL data layers are entirely unaffected; (2) the resource's create action must accept actor-supplied values for one or more primary key attributes (e.g., an id field marked public?: true with create permissions) - resources where the primary key is exclusively auto-generated server-side without user input cannot be exploited because the attacker cannot choose a colliding key; and (3) the attacker must be able to invoke the create action at whatever privilege level the application's own authorization rules require. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 5.9 (Medium) reflects high integrity impact tempered by the AT:P attack requirement - exploitation depends on the attacker controlling a user-supplied primary key value, which is a non-default configuration in many Ash applications. … 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, where the ETS data layer uses :ets.insert_new to atomically reject duplicate primary keys and the Mnesia data layer wraps writes in a read-check-write transaction; the patch is available at https://github.com/ash-project/ash/commit/912e243196017c2a812c25905c2b1cc3bbb843fc. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
