CVE-2026-105691

CriticalCVSS 9.9
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Penpot prior to 2.18.0, the SVG exporter places an attacker-controlled text object's fill-color value into a ppmcolormask command string and executes that string through child_process.exec. A user who can edit a file can store shell metacharacters in the fill color and trigger SVG export, causing commands to execute with the exporter service's privileges. The same export can be triggered through a valid public share link to a malicious file.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can execute arbitrary commands on the server with the exporter service's privileges, leading to system compromise and data breach.

Recommendation

Upgrade Penpot to version 2.18.0 or later and validate input before using it in shell commands.
