Description

GET /api/v1/workspaces/{slug}/issues/{project_identifier}-{issue_identifier}/ also matches a bare work item UUID, because the route splits at the last dash. The trailing hex chunk then went into sequence_id=<hex>, which raised ValueError and returned a 500.

  • WorkspaceIssueAPIEndpoint.get now returns a 404 ("Work item not found") when issue_identifier isn't numeric, before it queries anything. sequence_id is always an integer, so a non-numeric value can't match a work item.
  • Added contract tests: a UUID path returns 404, and a normal PROJ-123 lookup still resolves.

Type of Change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • Feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Improvement (change that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
  • Code refactoring
  • Performance improvements
  • Documentation update

Screenshots and Media (if applicable)

Test Scenarios

  • GET /api/v1/workspaces/{slug}/issues/{issue_uuid}/ with an API key → returns 404, not 500.
  • GET /api/v1/workspaces/{slug}/issues/{PROJECT}-{sequence_id}/ → returns 200 with the expected work item.
  • docker compose -f docker-compose-test.yml run --rm api-tests pytest plane/tests/contract/api/test_issues.py -k TestIssueByIdentifier

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Invalid work item identifiers now return a 404 instead of being treated as sequence IDs.
    • Valid project and sequence-ID pairs continue to return the matching work item.

Requests to /workspaces/{slug}/issues/{project_identifier}-{issue_identifier}/
also match a bare UUID (split at its last dash), which then hit
sequence_id=<hex> and raised ValueError instead of a clean 404. Reject
non-numeric identifiers up front and return 404, with contract tests
covering both the UUID and normal identifier paths.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The issue endpoint now returns 404 for non-decimal identifiers before looking up an issue by sequence ID. Contract tests cover invalid identifiers and a valid sequence ID.

Changes

Issue lookup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Issue identifier validation and contract tests
apps/api/plane/api/views/issue.py, apps/api/plane/tests/contract/api/test_issues.py
The endpoint rejects non-decimal issue identifiers with a 404 response. Contract tests check non-numeric and non-convertible identifiers, and verify that a valid sequence ID returns the matching issue.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~8 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 9375e

Invalid identifiers return 404, while valid sequence lookups retain their scoped path. No concrete merge-blocking risk remains.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 9375e

The lookup now rejects non-decimal identifiers before querying for an issue. The existing permission requirement and workspace/project lookup scope remain in place. No new security exposure was identified, although the endpoint’s error behavior changes.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The affected attacker-controlled input is the issue identifier in the public lookup URL. The changed behavior rejects a class of inputs before database lookup; the supplied impact map establishes no additional downstream dependency.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The endpoint declares ProjectEntityPermission; identifiers that reach its issue query remain constrained by workspace slug and project identifier.

What changed in this PR

Fixes UUID-shaped work-item lookups returning 500 by returning 404 for invalid identifiers while preserving valid lookups.

Changes:

  • Adds identifier validation before database queries.
  • Adds contract tests for UUID and valid PROJECT-sequence paths.
  • Remaining issue: isdigit() accepts Unicode digits that may still cause conversion errors.
File Summary
apps/​api/​plane/​tests/​contract/​api/​test_issues.py Adds UUID and valid-identifier contract tests.
apps/​api/​plane/​api/​views/​issue.py Adds identifier validation before querying.

- str.isdigit() is True for characters like "²" that int() cannot parse, so those identifiers still reached sequence_id and raised ValueError (HTTP 500). isdecimal() only accepts characters int() can parse.
- Replace the bare-UUID test with a non-numeric identifier test, and add a test for the "²" case.
- Coerce response.data["id"] to str in the 200-path assertion.
