Attack profile from CVSS 3.1 · CNA. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-639.
Summary
Plane 1.3.1 and earlier, an open-source project management tool, does not verify workspace or project membership on the public asset endpoint /api/public/assets/v2/anchor/{anchor}/ even though it requires authentication for writes. This is an authorization bypass through a user-controlled key (CWE-639). An authenticated user who knows a published project's public anchor can create file assets in that project and soft-delete existing assets, enabling cross-workspace file injection, storage abuse and data loss.

Description from the CNA
Plane is an open-source project management tool. In 1.3.1 and earlier, EntityAssetEndpoint at the public project asset endpoint /api/public/assets/v2/anchor/{anchor}/ requires authentication for write operations but does not verify workspace or project membership. An authenticated user who knows a published project's public DeployBoard.anchor can create FileAsset records in that project and soft-delete existing assets by identifier, allowing cross-workspace file injection, storage abuse, and data loss. The issue is fixed in version 1.4.0.
