EEF-CVE-2026-78038

Quick fix

EEF-CVE-2026-78038 — ash_oban: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

mix deps.update ash_oban

Details

## Summary

Improperly Controlled Modification of Dynamically-Determined Object Attributes vulnerability in ash-project ash\_oban allows a user whose input reaches the :args option of AshOban.build\_trigger/3 to retarget an update or destroy trigger at another record, including across tenants.

build\_trigger/3 builds the trusted job arguments with atom keys (:primary\_key, :tenant, :action\_arguments) and merges the caller's :args underneath so the trusted values win on collision. Because Oban job arguments round-trip through JSON, the caller's keys arrive as strings, so Map.merge sees no collision and both keys survive. When the job is persisted the JSON object is de-duplicated keeping the last (string) key, and the worker reads the caller's value. The documentation describes :args as unable to affect the action, so an application that forwards user input into it for uniqueness scoping is exposed to authorization bypass and tenant isolation breaks.

This issue affects ash\_oban: from 0.2.5 before 0.8.14.

## Configuration

An application must pass untrusted input into the :args option of AshOban.build\_trigger/3 (or an equivalent scheduling helper), on a trigger whose action is an update or destroy, so that an injected primary\_key, tenant, or action\_arguments retargets the enqueued job.
