## What is CVE-2026-104955?

CVE-2026-104955 is a medium-severity vulnerability in makeplane plane, published on 5 Oct 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

Plane is an open-source project management tool. Prior to 1.4.0, a Project Member with role 15 can send a PATCH request to the project-member update endpoint at /api/workspaces/{workspace_slug}/projects/{project_id}/members/{member_pk}/ to change another user's project role. The role-update logic blocks only a new role higher than the requester's role, so assigning the equal Member role bypasses the insufficient validation and promotes a Project Guest with role 5 to Member without Project Admin approval. This unauthorized promotion grants the guest the additional project capabilities associated with the Member role and allows a regular member to bypass project governance controls. This issue is fixed in 1.4.0.

Weakness: CWE-285 (Improper Authorization), CWE-269 (Improper Privilege Management)

Exploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-104955 exists.

Affected product: makeplane plane. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
