CVE-2026-78230 Details
Description
AshAi exposes Ash read actions to language-model tool calls. The read tool accepts an aggregate result type (min, max, sum, avg) that builds an ad-hoc Ash.Query.Aggregate over a named field and returns its raw value. Ash field policies redact forbidden fields on returned records (replacing them with %Ash.ForbiddenField{}), but that redaction does not apply to aggregate values. A tool caller could therefore read a field the calling actor's field policies forbid by requesting it as an aggregate; min/max in particular return an actual field value. This includes fields that are public? true but restricted per-actor by a field policy, such as sensitive PII. The tool's existing check only required the field to be public, which is a separate axis from per-actor field-policy authorization. The fix authorizes the aggregated field against the resource's field policies, so aggregating over a field the actor may not see is refused or scoped to the rows where it is visible. This issue affects ash_ai: from 0.1.0 before 1.0.3.
A vulnerability in the AshAi aggregate tool allows unauthorized access to field-policy-protected values. The issue arises because the tool can read sensitive information, such as personal identifiable information (PII), from fields that the calling actor's policies should restrict. This is possible by requesting the data as an aggregate, using functions like 'min' or 'max', which return the actual field values instead of redacted ones. The vulnerability affects AshAi versions 0.1.0 prior to 1.0.3.
Users can update to AshAi version 1.0.3 or later, which includes a fix for this vulnerability by authorizing aggregated fields against the resource's field policies.
