fix: block restricted guests from assets of issues hidden from them by sriramveeraghanta · Pull Request #10261 · makeplane/plane

sriramveeraghanta · 2026-11-11T19:35:19Z

Description

On a project with guest_view_all_features off, a guest may only see the issues they created. The issue sub-resource endpoints (attachments, comments, activity, links and so on) enforce this, but the asset routes that serve a file by its id checked project membership only. A restricted guest who had an asset id could still download another issue's attachments, description images and comment images.

FileAsset.is_project_accessible_to now applies the restricted-guest rule to assets bound to an issue, or to a comment on one. It already backs the workspace download, workspace asset, duplicate, check, legacy file and external API generic asset routes, so they all pick it up.
ProjectAssetEndpoint.get and ProjectAssetDownloadEndpoint.get relied on the project-level permission alone; they now call the same check.
Members, admins, unrestricted guests and the guest's own issues are unaffected. Assets with no issue (workspace logo, avatars, project cover, pages) keep the project-membership rule.

Test Scenarios

New contract tests in test_guest_asset_download_scope_app.py:
- A restricted guest gets 403 from download/, projects/<id>/download/, the workspace asset route and the project asset route for an attachment, a description image and a comment image on another member's issue. check/ reports exists: false and duplicate-assets/ is refused without copying.
- The guest still gets the files of their own issue; members and guests on a project with guest_view_all_features on still get every file.
The new tests fail without the fix and pass with it.
The full contract suite passes: 972 passed.
Manual: in a project with "Guests can view all work items" off, as a guest, open a download link for an attachment on someone else's work item and expect a 403; open one on your own work item and expect the file.

Follows the guest scoping added to the issue attachment endpoints and to issue links and subscribers ([WEB-10010] fix: block restricted guests from links and subscribers of others' issues #10205).

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Restricted guests can no longer access issue attachments and images belonging to other users’ issues. Access attempts are denied, and restricted attachment checks no longer report files as available.
- Guests retain access to their own issue assets, while members and guests with broad project access can continue viewing other users’ assets.
Tests
- Added coverage for asset access permissions across attachment, description image, and comment image routes.

…rom them A guest of a project with guest_view_all_features off may only see issues they created, and the issue sub-resource endpoints enforce that. The asset routes that serve a file by id checked project membership only, so such a guest could still download attachments, description images and comment images of other issues through the download, asset, duplicate and check routes. - FileAsset.is_project_accessible_to now applies the restricted-guest rule to assets bound to an issue or to a comment on one. It already backs the workspace download, workspace asset, duplicate, check, legacy file and external API generic asset routes. - ProjectAssetEndpoint.get and ProjectAssetDownloadEndpoint.get now call it. - Contract tests cover the blocked routes, the guest's own issues, members and unrestricted guests.

Walkthrough

Project asset read endpoints now check whether the requesting user can access the asset. The access method applies active project membership and guest-specific rules. Contract tests cover restricted guest access and allowed access for guests and members.

Changes: Guest asset access

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Guest-aware project access policy `apps/api/plane/db/models/asset.py`	`is_project_accessible_to` requires active membership in the asset’s workspace and project. It allows non-guests and guests with `guest_view_all_features`; other guests can access issue-linked assets only when they created the issue. Guests can access assets without an associated issue.
Project asset read enforcement `apps/api/plane/app/views/asset/v2.py`, `apps/api/plane/tests/contract/app/test_guest_asset_download_scope_app.py`	Both project asset read endpoints return 403 when access is denied. Contract tests cover foreign issue attachments, description images, and comment images, as well as allowed reads and duplicate-request denial.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Possibly related issues

API: is_restricted_guest returns True for workspace admins holding a project GUEST role #10118: The issue concerns restricted-guest classification when a workspace admin also has a project GUEST role. This change applies guest access rules to project asset reads, where that role combination may affect access.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to e364e

The fix closes the restricted-guest download gap for project-scoped assets, but assets linked to an issue or comment without a project still bypass the check. A restricted guest who knows the asset ID could still download another member's attachment or image through the workspace route. Resolve this before merging.

Check issue links before allowing a projectless asset.

Workspace uploads and bulk comment association can leave an issue-linked asset without a project. If the asset is uploaded, a restricted guest with its ID can get a signed URL through the workspace download route, even when another member created the issue.

Resolve the issue and its project before allowing a projectless issue or comment asset. Apply the project membership and guest visibility checks, while preserving access to workspace-level assets. Add a contract test for this upload shape.
