CVE-2026-81852
LowCVSS 2.1Summary
A vulnerability in ash_admin involves the use of a hardcoded, publicly known CSP nonce, defeating nonce-based Content-Security-Policy protection. The default nonce is a constant known from the repository and is not rotated, allowing its reuse to run unauthorized scripts.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can exploit the known nonce to inject and execute malicious scripts on admin pages, potentially leading to session hijacking or data theft.
Recommendation
Update ash_admin to version 1.3.1 or later, which generates a fresh random nonce per request.
Other vulnerabilities in ash_admin
See all- CVE-2026-82722High
A vulnerability in ash_admin allows any client that can reach the admin LiveView to exhaust the BEAM atom table and crash the entire node. Two LiveView event handlers intern atoms from unvalidated client input, and atoms are never garbage collected, leading to a crash.
- CVE-2026-82681Low
A vulnerability in ash_admin allows an attacker who controls a record's string primary key to rewrite the target of AshAdmin's row-action links. Links are built via raw string interpolation without URL-encoding, enabling parameter injection and redirecting admins to unintended actions.
- CVE-2026-82673High
A Path Traversal vulnerability in ash_admin allows writing attacker-controlled bytes to arbitrary paths on the server. The browser-supplied filename is not sanitized, allowing writes outside the temporary directory.
- CVE-2026-81853Low
A vulnerability in ash_admin allows authorization bypass through user-controlled keys, turning a record-lookup URL into an equality oracle over sensitive attributes. The primary key decoding does not verify that returned fields are actual primary key fields, enabling brute-force of sensitive values.
- CVE-2026-77850High
A Stored Cross-site Scripting vulnerability in ash_admin executes attacker-supplied record content as script in an administrator's browser. The RelationshipField and ManagedRelationshipSelectField components render labels without proper escaping.
- CVE-2026-75757High
A vulnerability in ash_admin relying on cookies without validation and integrity checking allows an attacker controlling a sibling subdomain to rebind an admin's session to a different actor, tenant, or authorization mode. Cookies are matched using an unanchored regular expression.
Original NVD description (English source)
Use of Insufficiently Random Values vulnerability in ash-project ash_admin ships a hardcoded, publicly known CSP nonce, defeating nonce-based Content-Security-Policy protection. When mounted without :csp_nonce_assign_key, AshAdmin.Router.ash_admin/2 defaulted the img, style, and script nonces to the literal constant ash_admin-Ed55GFnX, which AshAdmin.Layouts wrote verbatim into the nonce attribute of its inline <style> and <script> tags on every response. The value is a compile-time constant published in the repository and is never rotated per request. If an application's CSP script-src allow-lists that documented default, any HTML-injection sink on an admin page can reuse the known nonce to run inline scripts the policy was meant to block. The fix generates a fresh random nonce per request. This issue affects ash_admin: from 0.10.8 before 1.3.1.
