Summary

In Plane (versions 0.13 to 1.4.0), the InstanceAdminSignUpEndpoint uses InstanceAdmin.objects.first() for the first-admin check and creates accounts without an atomic transaction, row lock, or uniqueness guard. Two concurrent unauthenticated requests with different email addresses can both observe no instance administrator exists, create separate accounts, and receive sessions with instance-admin authority.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can gain unrestricted instance administration privileges in Plane, sharing control with the legitimate operator. This leads to full takeover of instance management and access to all project data.

Recommendation

Update Plane to version 1.4.0, which fixes this issue. Until then, protect the instance admin signup endpoint against concurrent requests.

Original NVD description (English source)

Plane is an open-source project management tool. From 0.13 until 1.4.0, InstanceAdminSignUpEndpoint in apps/api/plane/license/api/views/admin.py:89-117, 173-229 uses InstanceAdmin.objects.first() for the first-admin check and performs account creation without an atomic transaction, row lock, uniqueness guard, or advisory lock. Two concurrent unauthenticated requests with different email addresses can both observe that no instance administrator exists, create separate User and InstanceAdmin rows, and receive sessions with instance-admin authority. This allows an attacker to share unrestricted instance administration with the legitimate operator. This issue is fixed in 1.4.0.
