CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability allows unauthorized access to sensitive data by permitting an aggregate query to execute under a more permissive action than what was originally authorized, potentially exposing information that should be restricted. This issue affects versions of the ash framework from 3.5.13 to before 3.32.2. Organizations using these versions should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of unauthorized data exposure.

Original NVD Description
Incorrect Authorization vulnerability in ash-project ash authorizes an aggregate under one read action while computing it under another, so an aggregate can run with policies that do not match the action it was authorized against. Ash.Actions.Aggregate groups aggregates by their {authorize?, read_action} and authorizes each group under that read action, but when building the data query it selected the action as opts[:action] || read_action || <primary read> (lib/ash/actions/aggregate.ex). When a caller passed an :action option, the aggregate query ran under that action while authorization had been computed for the group's own read_action. If the run action's read policies are more permissive than the authorized one, the aggregate (a count or sum) is computed over records the authorized action's policies would have excluded, disclosing information about data the actor cannot read. The fix runs the aggregate under the same read_action it is authorized against. This issue affects ash: from 3.5.13 before 3.32.2.
