AI risk analysis

Summary: The flaw lies in the default SECRET_KEY and LIVE_SERVER_SECRET_KEY values in Plane project management tool versions prior to 1.4.0, allowing attackers to forge signed values and bypass authentication.
Exploitability: Exploitation is relatively straightforward if the default keys are not changed, requiring knowledge of the hardcoded values.
Blast radius: If exploited, attackers could compromise user accounts and sessions, leading to significant data breaches and loss of confidentiality.
Detection: No reliable host or network indicator is derivable from the published description.
Prioritized remediation: Upgrade to Plane version 1.4.0 or later.

NVD description

Plane is an open-source project management tool. Prior to 1.4.0, the deployments/aio/community/ and deployments/cli/community/ manifests provide fixed, publicly known SECRET_KEY and LIVE_SERVER_SECRET_KEY defaults that remain active when operators do not override them. The top-level setup.sh randomizes secrets only for the development Docker Compose path, leaving unchanged aio and cli community deployments with shared production secrets. Knowledge of SECRET_KEY enables attackers to forge Django-signed values and compromise accounts or sessions. Knowledge of LIVE_SERVER_SECRET_KEY bypasses live-service authentication on unchanged community deployments. This issue is fixed in 1.4.0.
