Attack profile from CVSS 3.1 · CNA. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-862.
Summary
The makeplane Plane project management tool is affected before 1.4.0. Missing object-level authorization checks (CWE-862) let an authenticated guest or member change another project member's record, including deactivating a project administrator, and overwrite other members' preferences. The attacker needs only a low-privileged project role and can act over the network with low complexity.

Description from the CNA
Plane is an open-source project management tool. In 1.3.1 and earlier, ProjectMemberViewSet.partial_update places its authorization checks inside the role update branch, so a guest or member can omit role and change another ProjectMember record's is_active field, including deactivating a project administrator. ProjectMemberPreferenceEndpoint.patch separately trusts the member_id path value and lets a project member overwrite another member's preferences. These missing object-level authorization checks permit membership disruption and cross-member preference tampering. The vulnerability is fixed in 1.4.0.
