Compensating controls
- Validate the affected product branch and deploy the verified fixed release.
- Restrict the affected network interface to trusted sources where business-safe.
- Monitor vendor guidance and exploitation sources for a material change.
Verification
- Confirm that the asset runs ash-project ash lua and falls inside the recorded affected range.
- Verify the installed build against the product-specific fixed version after deployment.
- Validate exposure, authentication requirements and compensating controls in the actual environment.
- Reopen this reassessment when CVSS, KEV, EPSS, exploit evidence or remediation changes.

What, why and how
Improper Protection of Alternate Path vulnerability in ash-project ash_lua allows a user-supplied Lua script to read attributes that are not on the exposed-field allow-list. AshLua exposes Ash resources to Lua scripts, gated by a manifest declaring which fields are exposed. The read action's operation aggregate path in AshLua.Runtime took the field name straight from the Lua call and resolved it with only String.to_existing_atom and Ash.Query.Aggregate.new!, neither of which consults the exposed-field allow-list the normal fields path enforces. A script can therefore read the value of any attribute of any record the actor may read, including private sensitive?: true columns, via resource.read({ operation = {"list", "hashed_password"} }); min and max give a value oracle. Anyone able to submit or influence a Lua script can reach this. This issue affects ash_lua: from 0.1.0 before 0.2.1.

Anyone able to submit or influence a Lua script can reach this. This issue affects ash_lua: from 0.1.0 before 0.2.1.
Why
The product does not sufficiently protect all possible paths that a user can take to access restricted functionality or resources.
How
An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation without authentication or user interaction. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

Exploit reality and attack path
CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.
Observed exploitation No confirmed evidence
?
Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.
Public PoC / exploit material None recorded
?
Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.
- Likely attack path
- a network path → Improper Protection of Alternate Path → cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor
- Attack surface
- Network
- Privileges required
- None: unauthenticated exploitation is possible
- User interaction
- None
- Attack complexity
- Low: no specialised conditions are recorded
- Security boundary
- Not a CVSS 4.0 base metric
- Weakness
?
CWE means Common Weakness Enumeration: a standard category for the underlying weakness. - CWE-424 ↗
CWE-424: Improper Protection of Alternate Path. The product does not sufficiently protect all possible paths that a user can take to access restricted functionality or resources.

- No specific living-off-the-land technique is confirmed in the structured sources. Monitor normal administration tools for activity inconsistent with the affected service's baseline.

Patch and workaround
Operational remediation based on structured source evidence.
- Status
?
Patch availability is based on structured fixed-version fields and authoritative update references. If no fix is verified, check the vendor advisory before making a change. - Patch available
- Action
- Review the linked authoritative reference and apply the recorded fixed release appropriate to the affected product branch.
- Workaround
- No verified workaround is recorded. If business-safe, reduce exposure to the affected interface and allow only trusted sources until authoritative guidance is available.
