Summary
Plane before 1.4.0 accepts unvalidated group_by and sub_group_by query parameters on its unauthenticated public issues endpoint and passes them to the ORM as field names. The flaw is CWE-943, improper neutralization of special elements in data query logic. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trigger HTTP 500 errors that disrupt the service and can use relational field paths to infer data through blind traversal.

Description from the CNA
Plane is an open-source project management tool. Prior to 1.4.0, the unauthenticated public issues endpoint accepts group_by and sub_group_by query parameters and passes them without an allowlist to grouped paginators, where they are used as ORM field names by F(field), .values(field), .order_by(field), and Window partition_by operations. An anonymous attacker can supply arbitrary field paths that trigger an unhandled FieldError or KeyError and an HTTP 500 response, or force the ORM to resolve __-separated relational paths as a blind traversal oracle. This is the same field-name injection class addressed by earlier order_by sanitization, but that remediation left group_by and sub_group_by unvalidated. The issue does not directly disclose column values because issue_group_values() returns an empty list for unknown fields, the result projection uses a fixed required_fields list, and the subgrouped path raises KeyError before serialization. This issue is fixed in 1.4.0.
