Node abort via unbounded typed-field atom creation
Published Sep 1, 2026 · Updated Sep 1, 2026
Resource exhaustion in Ash Framework AshTypescript 0.11.0 through 0.17.3 allows remote attackers to abort the BEAM node over HTTP. resolve_typed_struct_field/2 converts each unmatched client-supplied typed-struct field name with String.to_atom/1 before checking whether the field exists, permanently consuming atom-table entries. Exploitation requires an exposed AshTypescript RPC endpoint and an Ash.TypedStruct-backed resource field; exhaustion interrupts every application on the node until restart.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=0.11.0 <0.18.0
