CVE-2026-82580 · Severity: info · CVSS 3.7 · Published 2026-08-31

ash_ai is an Elixir library that powers AI-driven chat functionality, allowing applications to execute tools and relay results back to users. When a tool execution fails, unfiltered error messages containing sensitive internals (database constraints, query fragments, policy details) are exposed directly to chat users, risking disclosure of implementation details and data leakage.

Technologies: [Ash-Project Ash Ai](https://junglewise.ai/threats/technologies/ash-ai). Vendors: [Ash-Project](https://junglewise.ai/threats/vendors/ash-project).

## Technical details

This is an information disclosure vulnerability in the AshAi.ToolLoop and AshAi.Tools modules. When a tool callback or lifecycle hook raises an exception, the exception message is serialized verbatim via Exception.message/1 into the tool-result content, appended to the conversation history, emitted as a {:tool_result, ...} stream event, and sent to the language model—which typically relays it to the end user. No filtering occurs, so sensitive details (database errors, adapter exceptions, query fragments, policy/validation internals) leak directly. A chat user who can craft tool arguments to trigger an exception receives raw internal error text. The fix applies a safe error formatter consistent with other tool error handling.
