Description

Improper Input Validation vulnerability in ash-project ash_graphql allows an unauthenticated client to crash a relay node(id: ...) query with an unhandled KeyError. AshGraphql.Graphql.Resolver.resolve_node/2 decodes the client-supplied global ID with decode_relay_id/1, which only base64-decodes the string and splits it on : without validating the type segment. The decoded type is passed straight to Map.fetch!(type_to_domain_and_resource_map, type). Because fetch! raises on a missing key, a relay ID whose type segment is a valid atom that is not a relay-exposed type aborts the resolver before its resolve/2 clauses and their rescue handlers run, so the error never becomes a GraphQL error and may expose a stacktrace. Common resource names are easy to guess. The fix uses Map.fetch/2 and returns an Invalid node id error for unknown types. This issue affects ash_graphql: from 0.27.0 before 1.11.0.

Affected

Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.

0.27.0 ≤ v < 1.11.00.27.0365b3aedc6b36f020e6a2c7dce63fa569243bc4e
Vendor states this is fixed in c8863ed8e5c21f1bfb6125f1d24e78443dfc6351 (fixed)
Affected range stops below 1.11.0, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
