Attack profile from CVSS 3.1 · CNA. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-434 and CWE-79.
Summary
Plane before 1.4.0 lets an authenticated low-privilege member, including a Guest, upload SVG attachments that are served inline from the application origin in the default MinIO deployment. Scripts in such a file run in the victim's Plane session when a user, including a workspace administrator, opens the link, leading to account takeover (CWE-79).

Description from the CNA
Plane is an open-source project management tool. Prior to 1.4.0, an authenticated low-privilege workspace member, including a Guest, can upload an image/svg+xml file as a generic or issue attachment. The file retains the attacker-controlled Content-Type, and the asset-download endpoint creates a presigned URL with Content-Disposition: inline. In the default self-hosted MinIO deployment, the asset URL is served from the same origin as the Plane application, allowing embedded SVG JavaScript to execute in the application's security context. A victim, including a workspace administrator, who opens the link can have the session compromised through stored XSS, leading to account takeover. This issue is fixed in 1.4.0.
