CVE-2025-48042: CWE-863 Incorrect Authorization in ash-project ash
Incorrect Authorization vulnerability in ash-project ash allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels. This vulnerability is associated with program files lib/ash/actions/create/bulk.ex, lib/ash/actions/destroy/bulk.ex, lib/ash/actions/update/bulk.ex and program routines 'Elixir.Ash.Actions.Create.Bulk':run/5, 'Elixir.Ash.Actions.Destroy.Bulk':run/6, 'Elixir.Ash.Actions.Update.Bulk:run'/6. This issue affects ash: from pkg:hex/ash before pkg:hex/ash@3.5.39, before 3.5.39, before 5d1b6a5d00771fd468a509778637527b5218be9a.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2025-48042) in ash-project ash involves incorrect authorization (CWE-863) caused by misconfigured access control security levels in bulk action modules (create, destroy, update) within specific program files and routines. It affects versions prior to 3.5.39, allowing potentially unauthorized actions due to insufficient access control enforcement. The CVSS 4.0 score is 7.1, indicating high severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, high impact on integrity, and low impact on availability.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows an attacker with low privileges to perform unauthorized bulk create, destroy, or update operations due to incorrect authorization checks. This could lead to unauthorized modification or deletion of data, impacting data integrity. There is no indication of impact on confidentiality or availability beyond low impact. No known exploits in the wild have been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no patch or official fix information is provided, users should monitor the vendor's communications for updates. Until a fix is available, restrict access to affected functionalities to trusted users only and review access control configurations carefully to minimize exposure.
