Doc Text:
A flaw was found in Ash. This vulnerability allows an authenticated attacker to access unauthorized records, resulting in information disclosure. When querying associated data through intermediate relationships with a limit of one, the framework fails to apply the filter linking destination records to the source record. Consequently, an attacker can paginate through query results to enumerate and read sensitive data that should not be accessible.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-10-25 20:01:37 UTC 
Incorrect Authorization vulnerability in ash-project ash allows a client to read destination records unrelated to the source record through a through relationship.

When a has_many relationship declared with through: was loaded for a single record with a limit of 1, or an unsorted has_one through relationship was loaded with a limit of 1, lateral_join?/4 in lib/ash/actions/read/relationships.ex chose the path that reads the destination without any filter linking it to the source. The load returned the first destination record by sort, or any other record with an offset. The read still runs the destination's policies but carries the relationship as accessing_from, so a client paging such a field (for example teachers(limit: 1, offset: n) through AshGraphql) can enumerate destination records that policies allow only when reached through that relationship.

This issue affects ash: from 3.24.0 before 3.37.1.
