CVE-2026-105696 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.5 · Published 2026-10-05

Penpot is an open-source design and prototyping platform that allows teams to collaborate on design files. Prior to version 2.18.0, attackers with a valid share link could retrieve design data from pages they should not have access to by requesting pages outside the link's authorized scope. This allows unauthorized viewing of sensitive design work and proprietary information.

## How to fix

- Fixed in 2.18.0

## Technical details

The get-page RPC command failed to validate that the requested page-id belonged to the set of authorized pages in the share-link permission object. An attacker with both a valid share link and an authenticated Penpot session could request arbitrary page IDs to retrieve shape and design data. The get-file-fragment RPC had the same scope validation flaw. The fix adds page scope validation to reject requests for out-of-scope pages and denies share-link access to get-file-fragment entirely.
