CVE-2026-82740: Ash.Type ignores outer array constraints on nested {:array, {:array, type}} inputs
Improper Input Validation vulnerability in ash-project ash fails to enforce the outer array constraints on a doubly-nested {:array, {:array, type}} attribute, letting invalid input pass validation.
Ash.Type.applyconstraints/3 (lib/ash/type/type.ex) handled the {:array, {:array, type}} case by mapping only the inner {:array, type} constraints over each element, so constraints declared on the outer array (such as minlength, maxlength, and nilitems?) were never applied. An attacker could submit an outer list that violates those constraints (too many elements, or nil entries where disallowed) and have it accepted and persisted. The fix enforces the outer array constraints and adds explicit handling for nil and non-list inputs.
This issue affects ash: from 2.16.1 before 3.32.2.
