Summary

Plane, an open-source project management tool, is affected before 1.3.0. Improper privilege management in the project member update logic lets any project member, including a user with the GUEST role, change another member's role. A guest can demote project Administrators and Members and deny them project control (CWE-269).

Description from the CNA

Plane is an open-source project management tool. Prior to 1.3.0, the ProjectMemberViewSet.partial_update method allows any project member, including a user with the lowest GUEST role, to modify another project member's role. The authorization check prevents assigning a role higher than the requester's role but does not prevent assigning a lower or equal role, allowing a Guest to demote Administrators and Members and deny them project control. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.3.0.
