It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-78228 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- ash_oban (Hex): affected from 0.8.0-rc.1; fixed in 0.8.14\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-78228/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-78228/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-78228","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-78228/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-78228","record":{"aliases":["EEF-CVE-2026-78228","GHSA-94p7-498r-mrhp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Elixir Oban library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can cause a denial of service by triggering an error in AshOban workers, leading to unbounded recursion and resource exhaustion.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"EEF","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-674","name":"Uncontrolled Recursion"}],"description":"Uncontrolled Recursion vulnerability in ash-project ash_oban allows a user who can drive a trigger's on_error action to fail on the final attempt to exhaust worker CPU and memory, denying service.\n\nThe generated worker's atomic handle_error/4 runs the trigger's on_error action on a job's final attempt inside a rescue that, when the action itself raises, calls handle_error/4 again with the same job. The job's attempt still equals max_attempts, so it re-enters the same clause and re-runs the failing action, with no exit. Any deterministic on_error failure (a data-layer outage, a misconfigured action, or a record the action rejects) loops forever; because the recursive call is not in tail position, each iteration retains a formatted stacktrace and the process heap grows without bound while the failing statement is re-issued against the data layer until the runtime kills the worker.\n\nThis issue affects ash_oban: from 0.8.0-rc.1 before 0.8.14.","ecosystems":["Hex"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Unbounded handle_error recursion enables denial of service in AshOban triggers","id":"CVE-2026-78228","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Hex","product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2026"},"n_packages":1,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Image Scanner Driver for Linux contains an OS command injection vulnerability.","id":"CVE-2026-78229"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Hex","fixed":["0.8.14"],"introduced":["0.8.0-rc.1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"ash_oban","purl":"pkg:hex/ash_oban","source":"EEF-CVE-2026-78228"}],"prev":{"headline":"Use-after-free in DoQ stream output buffer on reset re-transmission","id":"CVE-2026-78227"},"products":["ash_oban"],"published":"2026-08-30","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"Erlang Ecosystem Foundation","prefix":"EEF"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-31","vendors":["ash-project"]},"summary":"An attacker can cause a denial of service by triggering an error in AshOban workers, leading to unbounded recursion and resource exhaustion.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-78228/"}
