  "account": "Plane organizes work into workspaces that contain members, roles, projects, access tokens, webhooks, integrations, and audit records. When deploying Plane to the internet, a thorough review of the entire workspace boundary is necessary, not just the sign-in page. ZoomEye reported 355 assets for Plane on November 2, 2026, based on a count-only query.\n\nThese assets should be verified against DNS, certificates, cloud inventories, and deployment records before considering an endpoint an organizational system. Workspace roles and project access must be mapped, as workspace owners or admins can manage sensitive settings. Workspace-level role review is crucial, even if a person is listed as a project member.\n\nPublic projects can be discovered and joined by workspace members, but they do not necessarily expose the entire workspace. Public projects should not store production credentials, private customer records, or sensitive incident notes. Automatic membership in a public project grants a project role based on the workspace role, so mapping roles accurately is essential.\n\nWorkspace settings include access tokens for external systems, webhooks, integrations, and audit logs. These credentials should be reviewed for each token, including its owner, purpose, creation date, and last use. No single token should serve multiple automations, and tokens should be revoked after removing integrations. Webhook secrets should be rotated after project owner changes, and outbound webhook destinations should be reviewed and approved.\n\nWhen capturing a public deployment, note the hostname, certificate, address, product evidence, and first-seen time. Determine if the endpoint is a production workspace, a demo, or unrelated. Check TLS, authentication options, and trusted proxy configuration. Do not guess workspace tokens or enumerate private projects. Compare the public host with the configured application URL to ensure all traffic reaches the intended service.\n\nAudit log retention and access are critical, as security-relevant events should be available to a security team even if a workspace owner can change local settings. Record membership changes, token creation, webhook edits, project visibility, and role changes. Use query and count data carefully, retaining it over time to identify new deployments and upgrades. Correlate technical observations with internal registry and audit events to ensure a comprehensive review of Plane's authority and potential vulnerabilities.",
