MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Defense Evasion The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | The attacker must be an authenticated, active member of the target Plane workspace (any role, including the lowest Member role) - cross-workspace exploitation is not possible because project IDs from other workspaces are filtered out. The affected workspace must contain at least one private/secret project (network=0) holding data worth stealing. No non-default configuration, feature toggle, or user interaction is required; the vulnerable behavior is the default in all versions prior to 1.4.0. The primary limiting factor is the authentication prerequisite: this is an insider or post-account-compromise escalation within a shared workspace, not an unauthenticated internet-facing exposure. |
| Impact | This is a genuine authorization/tenant-isolation flaw rather than a hollow high-CVSS score, but its real-world urgency is tempered by its prerequisites. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N) and the equivalent assessed CVSS 3.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) agree that exploitation is network-reachable, low-complexity, requires no user interaction, but DOES require low-privilege authentication (PR:L) - the attacker must already be a legitimate member of the target workspace. Impact is high on confidentiality and integrity (VC:H/VI:H) because the attacker gains a full read+write Member role in projects they were never invited to, with limited availability impact (VA:L). No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, or public proof-of-concept was provided in the input, so there is no evidence of active exploitation or mass scanning; this suggests the threat is primarily insider/post-compromise rather than widespread opportunistic attack. The signals are consistent and not conflicting: a confirmed access-control bug (CWE-284) with a verified upstream patch, but no exploitation telemetry. Prioritize for self-hosted/multi-tenant Plane deployments where private projects hold sensitive data, especially workspaces with many low-trust members. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A low-privilege user who has been invited to a single project in a Plane workspace discovers (or enumerates) the UUID of a confidential network=0 private project in the same workspace. They invoke the project-join/invite flow (joinProject mutation) supplying that secret project ID; because the resolver validates only workspace membership and never the project's network/visibility, they are silently granted a full Member role. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis, but the fixing PR diff openly documents the missing SECRET-network check, lowering the effort to reproduce. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 05, 2026
Plane prior to 1.4.0 allows an authenticated workspace member to bypass project-level authorization and join any project in that workspace, including private or secret projects with network=0, while receiving a full Member role with read and write access. The root cause is CWE-284 improper access control in the GraphQL joinProject mutation, which validated workspace membership but failed to enforce the target project's visibility. Exploitation requires an active authenticated workspace member and a workspace containing private projects, making this an insider or post-account-compromise escalation rather than an unauthenticated exposure; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is fixed in 1.4.0.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: 1.4.0. Upgrade Plane to 1.4.0 or later from the v1.4.0 release tag and verify the fix against advisory GHSA-45hc-q4mw-jhxm, PR #9333, or commit e1ef42023ab66b5e722a8750e1bc5ba0d413a3ee. No vendor workaround is documented in the supplied references; until patching is possible, treat workspace membership as trusted, audit current workspace members and ProjectMember records for unexpected enrollments in network=0 projects, and remove inactive or over-privileged accounts. As a compensating control, block or monitor the joinProject GraphQL mutation at the API gateway or WAF and alert on unexpected ProjectMember additions, accepting that blocking the mutation may break legitimate invitation acceptance; also limit Plane API exposure to trusted networks where feasible. Because exploitation requires only authenticated workspace membership, the assessed CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L makes the vendor patch the primary and most reliable mitigation.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Plane is a GraphQL-backed open-source project management application. The vulnerable mutation, joinProject, is implemented in apps/api/plane/app/views/project/invite.py and, before 1.4.0, checked only workspace-level membership or role before accepting raw project_ids. It did not re-check each target project's network visibility, so a low-privilege member could enroll in network=0 secret or private projects and gain ProjectMember rights. CWE-284 improper access control accurately describes this class. The upstream fix in PR #9333 and commit e1ef42023ab66b5e722a8750e1bc5ba0d413a3ee builds a validated_project_ids list from the workspace-scoped, network-validated projects queryset and uses only those IDs for ProjectMember updates and creation, closing the bypass. CPE cpe:2.3:a:makeplane:plane:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* indicates all versions before 1.4.0. The supplied CVSS 4.0 score is 8.7, while the independent assessment is CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L; the PR:L vector and assessed conditions confirm that authentication as an active workspace member is required. Cross-workspace exploitation is not possible because project IDs from other workspaces are filtered out, and the primary exposure is unauthorized access to confidential data inside the same workspace.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Plane is an open-source project management tool. Prior to 1.4.0, the GraphQL joinProject mutation lets any workspace member add themselves to any project in that workspace including network=0 (secret/private) projects they were never invited to and grants them a full Member role (read + write). The resolver checks only workspace-level membership/role and never checks the target project's visibility (network). This collapses project-level tenant isolation within a workspace: a low-privilege member can read and modify confidential data in every private project. This issue is fixed in 1.4.0.
Technical POC Analysis
Class: missing object-level authorization on an attacker-supplied identifier, tracked as CWE-284 (Improper Access Control) in the advisory header; the PoC's own comment labels it CWE-862/639.
Full technical POC analysis - root cause, step-by-step exploitation and patch breakdown - is part of the Pro and Business plans.
Executive ViewAI
A HIGH-severity access control flaw in Plane (versions prior to 1.4.0) allows any existing workspace member to add themselves to private and secret projects, gaining full read and write access to those projects' contents. The abuse requires a legitimate, already-authenticated account rather than unauthenticated remote access, so the primary risk is insider misuse or privilege escalation following an account compromise - any organization relying on Plane's project-level visibility to segregate sensitive work is exposed. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is fixed in Plane 1.4.0, making a prompt upgrade the decisive remediation.
Apply vendor patch: upgrade to Plane 1.4.0. Until the upgrade is complete, restrict and review workspace membership so only vetted users can join workspaces containing private or secret projects, monitor and alert on joinProject and project-membership changes, and re-verify the member rosters of sensitive projects to detect and remove unauthorized joins.
