Attack profile from CVSS 3.1 · CNA. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-863.
Summary
Plane, an open source project management tool, is affected before 1.4.0. Its project invitation list endpoint is open to any authenticated user who knows the workspace slug and project ID, and its public join endpoint accepts an invitation based only on a submitted email address (CWE-863). An attacker with a low-privilege account can enumerate a pending invitation for an email address that has not registered with Plane, register that address without mailbox verification, and accept the invitation to join the target workspace and project.

Description from the CNA
Plane is an open-source project management tool. Prior to 1.4.0, Plane's project invitation list endpoint is accessible to any authenticated user who knows the workspace slug and project ID, while the public project invitation join endpoint accepts an invitation based only on a submitted email address. When a pending invitation targets an email address that has not registered with Plane, an attacker can enumerate the invitation, register an account using the invited email without mailbox verification, and accept the invitation. The attacker-controlled account is then added to the target workspace and project. This issue is fixed in 1.4.0.
