Generation of Error Message Containing Sensitive Information vulnerability in ash-project ashphoenix writes the entire raw submitted param map into an exception message, so secrets submitted alongside a union form field leak into logs, crash reports and the dev error page.

When AshPhoenix.Form.Auto builds a union sub-form and the submitted uniontype does not match a configured type, both raise sites built the message with inspect(params, pretty: true), embedding the full untrusted param map, and also inspected the internal union constraints[:types]. Because the message is constructed by the library rather than Phoenix's parameter logger, config :phoenix, :filterparameters never redacts it. An attacker controls both the trigger and the contents: submitting %{"uniontype" => "nope", "password" => "..."} puts the password verbatim in the raised message. The fix reports only the offending uniontype and the valid type names, dropping the param and constraints dumps.

This issue affects ashphoenix: from 1.2.17 before 2.3.25.
