CVE-2026-105640: Plane account takeover via unverified OAuth email

CVE-2026-105640 · Severity: critical · CVSS 9.1 · Published 2026-10-05

Plane, an open-source project management tool, fails to verify that email addresses returned by Gitea or self-managed GitLab OAuth are actually owned by the user. An attacker can register an OAuth account with a victim's email address and use it to log into the victim's existing Plane account, gaining full access without needing the password. This affects only deployments using Gitea or GitLab with email confirmation disabled; major providers like GitHub and Google are not vulnerable.

Technical details

Plane trusts unverified email addresses from Gitea OAuth and self-managed GitLab OAuth (when email confirmation is disabled) and matches them directly to existing local accounts. An attacker can set an OAuth identity's email to a victim's address and gain authentication without proving ownership. The vulnerability requires the attacker to control an OAuth account with the target OAuth provider and the victim to have an existing Plane account with that email address.
