CVE-2026-105691
CriticalCVSS 9.9Summary
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.

See all- CVE-2026-105696Medium
Penpot is an open-source design and prototyping platform. Prior to 2.18.0, the get-page RPC accepts a share-link permission object with blanket read access but does not verify that the caller-selected page-id belongs to the link's authorized pages set. An attacker with both a valid share link and the attacker's own authenticated Penpot session can retrieve the complete shape and design data of another page in the same file when its identifier is known, because get-page requires authentication. The related get-file-fragment RPC also permits share-link access without mapping fragments to authorized pages. This issue is fixed in version 2.18.0.
- CVE-2026-105695Medium
Penpot is an open-source design and prototyping platform. Prior to 2.18.0, assemble-chunks retrieves an upload session using only its session ID, while upload-chunk correctly scopes the lookup to the authenticated profile. An authenticated user who obtains another user's live, completed upload-session UUID can assemble the victim's chunks into the attacker's own file, team font, or project import, disclosing the uploaded bytes and deleting the victim's pending session. This issue is fixed in version 2.18.0.
- CVE-2026-105694Medium
Penpot is an open-source design and prototyping platform. Prior to 2.18.0, authenticated users with file-edit permission can upload SVG media whose scripts, event-handler attributes, and foreignObject elements are stored without sanitization and served as image/svg+xml from the Penpot origin. A victim who navigates to the asset URL executes attacker-controlled JavaScript in that origin, allowing requests and data access with the victim's Penpot session authority. This issue is fixed in version 2.18.0.
- CVE-2026-105693Medium
Penpot is an open-source design and prototyping platform. Prior to 2.18.0, the unauthenticated get-view-only-bundle RPC returns every share-link row for a file even when the caller authenticated with only one scoped share link. A holder of a restrictive link can obtain other links' secret IDs, page scopes, comment permissions, and inspection permissions, then replay a more permissive token to access page data that was not included in the original share. This issue is fixed in version 2.18.0.
- CVE-2026-44986Critical
A vulnerability in Penpot prior to 2.14.5 allowed account takeover by exploiting invitation tokens, embedding a profile ID, and issuing a session based on email match without password verification.
- CVE-2026-100868Medium
Penpot before 2.18.0 binds the MCP server plugin WebSocket bridge to all network interfaces without authentication in single-user mode. Unauthenticated attackers on adjacent networks can connect to the WebSocket port to impersonate the Penpot browser plugin, intercept task payloads, and return forged results to the MCP client.
- CVE-2026-47666High
Penpot is an open-source design and prototyping platform. In versions up to and including 2.14.3, Penpot is vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting through custom font family names, which are interpolated into a @font-face CSS rule and injected into the page as HTML without sanitization. Because the backend accepts an arbitrary font-family string and the frontend writes the resulting style through innerHTML, a name containing markup such as a closing style tag followed by a script can break out of the style element and execute JavaScript on the Penpot origin. The attack is passive: any team member who opens a file referencing the malicious font triggers script execution simply by rendering the page, allowing theft of session cookies, actions performed as the victim, and access to their files and projects. This issue is fixed in version 2.15.3.
- CVE-2026-47665High
Penpot is an open-source design and prototyping platform. In versions up to and including 2.14.3, Penpot is vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting through file comments, whose content is stored as raw text and rendered into the page with innerHTML without any sanitization. Because the backend applies only a length check and the frontend writes comment content directly through innerHTML, any team member who can comment on a shared file can embed HTML such as an image error handler or script that executes in the browser of every other collaborator. The attack is passive: any user who opens the comments panel on the affected file triggers script execution on the Penpot origin, allowing theft of session cookies, actions performed as the victim, and access to their files and projects. This issue is fixed in version 2.15.3.
- CVE-2026-17613High
Penpot's ::import-binfile RPC command lacks authorization on the optional file-id parameter, allowing any authenticated user to overwrite any files on the target server and subscribe to WebSocket events, enabling full data exfiltration and data poisoning.
- CVE-2026-45806High
A vulnerability in Penpot prior to version 2.15.0 allowed an authenticated file editor to reach internal-only endpoints via remote image import. The issue was due to missing destination filtering in the HTTP client used for image downloading.
