Technical details
An authenticated Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) exists in Penpot's remote image import workflow. The vulnerability occurs because the backend RPC method ':create-file-media-object-from-url' passes user-supplied URLs to a shared HTTP client that lacks destination filtering for loopback (127.0.0.1), private (RFC1918), or link-local addresses. Furthermore, the client is configured to follow redirects automatically, allowing an attacker to bypass initial checks by redirecting a public URL to an internal target. An attacker with 'file editor' privileges can exploit this to probe internal network services or retrieve sensitive data from internal endpoints that return image-like content types. The issue is resolved in version 2.15.0 by implementing destination controls and redirect validation.
