AshLua exposes Ash read actions to Lua scripts run through an eval action. A read call accepts an operation (list, min, max, first, 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 script could therefore read a field the calling actor's field policies forbid by requesting it as an aggregate instead of as a field. This includes fields that are public? true but restricted per-actor by a field policy, such as sensitive PII. The prior hardening only enforced the exposed-field allow-list (field visibility), 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_lua: from 0.1.0 before 0.2.2.

CVE-2026-82586 is a high-severity vulnerability in ash-project's ash_lua component that allows Lua scripts to bypass field exposure restrictions. The vulnerability arises because the read operation in AshLua.Runtime resolves field names without consulting the exposed-field allow-list, enabling scripts to read any attribute, including private sensitive fields like hashed passwords. This affects versions from 0.1.0 up to but not including 0.2.1.
