…ace-level asset route
The project-membership rule for asset access lived as a method on
WorkspaceFileAssetEndpoint with three call sites. Every other asset route is a
sibling BaseAPIView subclass and therefore could not reach it, so four
workspace-level routes in the app and the whole external-API asset surface
resolved assets on the workspace alone. A workspace member or guest belonging to
none of the asset's projects could download another project's uploads, copy them
into a project they controlled, reverse a deletion its owner performed, probe
for asset ids, and flip is_uploaded to take an attachment offline.
Move the rule onto the model as FileAsset.is_project_accessible_to so any
surface that can load a FileAsset can ask the question, and a route added later
cannot silently omit it -- which is how this gap arose.
app/views/asset/v2.py
- AssetRestoreEndpoint.post, AssetCheckEndpoint.get,
WorkspaceAssetDownloadEndpoint.get and DuplicateAssetEndpoint.post now check
the asset's project. Check answers exists=false rather than confirming a
foreign asset, so it stops being a cross-project existence oracle.
- DuplicateAssetEndpoint also requires active membership of the destination
project from the request body; existence in the workspace was being treated
as authorization.
api/views/asset.py
- GenericAssetEndpoint.get and .patch gained the same check. is_uploaded gates
every download path, so an unscoped patch is a takedown primitive.
- .post validates the body-supplied project_id against the URL workspace and
the caller's membership; it was stored unvalidated, so a row in one
workspace could point at a project in another -- exactly the inconsistency
the access check has to defend against downstream.
Also fixes three unconditional 500s in the same file: S3Storage.__init__ is
(self, request=None) and never accepted is_server, so S3Storage(request=request,
is_server=True) at :338, :451 and :581 raised TypeError for every caller.
Passing no request is what selects the internal endpoint, making the keyword
both wrong and redundant. This ships with the authorization checks on purpose:
repairing the crash alone would have exposed a cross-project asset read on a
route that currently only looks harmless.
Contract tests cover each route from a non-member, a member, and a
workspace-level asset whose project_id is NULL, so the fix cannot over-reach.
The external-API positive paths patch S3Storage with autospec=True so the
constructor signature is validated and the crash cannot regress unnoticed.
Adds plane/tests/contract/api/conftest.py to reset the ApiKeyRateThrottle bucket
around each external-API contract test. That throttle keys on the token string,
which is a constant across the package, so all of those tests shared one
60/minute budget for the whole run. Adding tests here pushed the package past it
and produced 429s in unrelated files. Only this throttle's key is cleared,
following the existing narrowly-scoped auth-throttle helper rather than
cache.clear().

Pull request overview
This PR addresses a cross-project asset authorization gap by enforcing project membership consistently across both the app’s workspace-level asset routes and the external API’s generic asset endpoints. The enforcement logic is centralized onto the FileAsset model to prevent future routes from silently omitting the check.
Changes:
- Moved the project-membership authorization rule onto
FileAsset.is_project_accessible_to(user). - Added project-scope checks across workspace-level asset routes (
download,check,restore,duplicate) and external APIGenericAssetEndpoint(get,patch, andpostproject validation). - Added contract test coverage for both surfaces, plus a per-test throttle-bucket reset for external API contract tests to prevent rate-limit leakage across the suite.

… foreign asset ids Review catch. GenericAssetEndpoint.post deduplicates on workspace + external_source + external_id with no project scoping, and answers a match with 409 carrying asset_id and asset_url. For an attachment, asset_url also embeds the owning project and issue ids. When the body omits project_id the create-path validation is skipped entirely, so this branch is the only gate. Knowing the asset UUID is the precondition for every asset-scoped attack on this surface, so the preceding commit closed the routes that consume a foreign id while leaving the path that hands it out -- in the same handler. Two of the reports this branch addresses name this echo as their id-recovery step. Answer 404 when the matched asset's project is not accessible, and keep the 409 echo for a match the caller can reach. 404 rather than 403 deliberately: a 403 would still confirm that some asset holds this external id pair in this workspace, turning the pair into an existence oracle. The 403 used elsewhere in this branch is fine on routes where the caller already named an asset id; here they named only an external id, so a match is new information. The cost is that a caller who guesses a pair held by a project they cannot see cannot create their own asset under it -- the right trade, since real integrations mint ids per source and run as a member of the target project. Contract tests: disclosure with project_id supplied, disclosure with project_id omitted, and two controls proving dedup still echoes for a project member and for a workspace-level asset whose project_id is NULL. Verified fail-before against the previous commit -- the negative case returned 409 with the foreign asset id and its project id in asset_url. Co-authored-by: Plane AI <noreply@plane.so>

…ied dedup match Review follow-up. The denial tests checked that the matched asset's UUIDs did not appear in the response body, which is weaker than it looks: asset_url is derived from entity_type, and its workspace-level form (/api/assets/v2/static/<id>/) carries no project id at all, so a substring check on the project UUID would not catch every shape of leak. Assert the asset_id and asset_url fields are absent outright, in a helper shared by both denial cases, and keep the UUID substring checks underneath it. The omitted-project_id case previously only checked the asset id, so it now covers the same ground as the case that supplies one. Both denial tests fail against the commit before the dedup fix; the two controls proving dedup still echoes for an accessible asset pass either way. Co-authored-by: Plane AI <noreply@plane.so>

Why
The project-membership rule for asset access lived as
has_project_asset_access, a method onWorkspaceFileAssetEndpoint, with three call sites (get/patch/deleteon that one class). Every other asset route is a siblingBaseAPIViewsubclass, so none of them could reach it.That is not an oversight in a single handler — it is the shape of the bug. A route added to this file later has no way to inherit the rule, which is why the earlier fix covered three handlers and the rest of the surface kept being reported.
Four workspace-level routes in the app and the entire external-API asset surface therefore resolved assets by workspace alone, under authorization that admits any active workspace member including a GUEST who belongs to no project:
WorkspaceAssetDownloadEndpoint.getDuplicateAssetEndpoint.postAssetRestoreEndpoint.postAssetCheckEndpoint.getGenericAssetEndpoint.get(external API)GenericAssetEndpoint.patch(external API)is_uploaded, which gates every download pathThe caller needs the asset UUID. The sharp case is a user removed from a project: they keep every id they saw while they were in it, and removal is exactly when an operator expects access to stop.
What changed
The rule moved onto the model as
FileAsset.is_project_accessible_to(user). Both surfaces already importFileAsset, so there is no layering gymnastics and no home for the rule that some routes cannot reach. Its docstring is explicit that it is the project dimension only — workspace authorization remains the caller's job.app/views/asset/v2.pyAssetCheckEndpointanswersexists: falserather than confirming a foreign asset, so it stops being a cross-project oracle.DuplicateAssetEndpointadditionally requires active membership of the destination project named in the request body. Existence in the workspace was being treated as authorization.has_project_asset_accessis removed; its three call sites now use the model method. No behaviour change there — same query, same 403.api/views/asset.pyGenericAssetEndpoint.getand.patchgained the same check..postvalidates the body-suppliedproject_idagainst the URL workspace and the caller's membership. It was stored unvalidated, so a row in one workspace could point at a project in another — precisely the inconsistent stateis_project_accessible_tohas to defend against downstream.Also fixed: three unconditional 500s in the same file
S3Storage.__init__is(self, request=None)and has never acceptedis_server.S3Storage(request=request, is_server=True)atapi/views/asset.py:338,:451and:581raisedTypeErrorfor every caller, so those three routes are 500s today. Passing norequestis what selects the internal endpoint, making the keyword both wrong and redundant — it is dropped.This ships together with the authorization checks deliberately. Repairing the crash on its own would have exposed a cross-project asset read on a route that currently only looks harmless.
Verification
docker compose -f docker-compose-test.yml, since no workflow runspytest.Fail-before, in a clean worktree at
preview(e056bbf9eb) with only the test files added: 13 of the 19 new tests fail. The 6 that pass are the controls that must pass either way — a project member's access, and a workspace-level asset whoseproject_idis NULL. Sample failures are the vulnerability itself: the external-API takedown returns204, and the foreign-asset probe returns400 {"error": "Asset not yet uploaded"}.The four external-API positive tests also fail before, because those routes are 500 for everyone until the
is_serverfix lands — which is the evidence for that half.Fail-after: 28 passed — the 19 new plus the 9 pre-existing asset contract tests, so lifting the helper onto the model regressed nothing.
Each route is covered from a non-member, from a member, and with a
project_id=Noneasset, so the fix cannot over-reach. The external-API positive paths patchS3Storagewithautospec=Trueon purpose: an autospec'd mock validates the constructor signature, so the crash cannot come back unnoticed. The negative paths set an explicit string return value — with a bareMagicMock, a regression would make DRF recurse while JSON-encoding it and OOM the runner instead of failing an assertion.Full suite: 535 passed, 0 failed.
That last part needed one extra fix.
ApiKeyRateThrottle.get_cache_keykeys on the token string, and theapi_tokenfixture's string is a constant, so every test intests/contract/api/shares a single 60/minute bucket for the whole run. Adding tests to that package pushed it past 60 requests and produced 429s in five unrelated files —test_projects.py,test_projects_lite.py,test_members_lite.py,test_modules_lite.py,test_project_members_roster_scope.py— none of which this PR touches.tests/contract/api/conftest.pynow resets that bucket around each test, so the package no longer has an effective cap on how many API calls its tests may collectively make. It clears only that throttle's key, following the existing narrowly-scoped_clear_auth_throttle_keyshelper in the app auth tests rather than reaching forcache.clear().ruff check apps/apireports nothing in the changed files.
