Summary

Plane from 0.13 before 1.4.0 has a race condition (CWE-362) in InstanceAdminSignUpEndpoint. The endpoint checks for an existing instance administrator without locking or a uniqueness guard, so two concurrent unauthenticated sign-up requests with different email addresses can both pass the check. An unauthenticated attacker can thereby obtain instance-admin sessions alongside the legitimate operator.

Description from the CNA

Plane is an open-source project management tool. From 0.13 until 1.4.0, InstanceAdminSignUpEndpoint in apps/api/plane/license/api/views/admin.py:89-117, 173-229 uses InstanceAdmin.objects.first() for the first-admin check and performs account creation without an atomic transaction, row lock, uniqueness guard, or advisory lock. Two concurrent unauthenticated requests with different email addresses can both observe that no instance administrator exists, create separate User and InstanceAdmin rows, and receive sessions with instance-admin authority. This allows an attacker to share unrestricted instance administration with the legitimate operator. This issue is fixed in 1.4.0.
