Penpot is an open-source design tool for design and code collaboration. Prior to 2.15.0, Penpot's remote image import passed the user-controlled url from frontend/src/app/main/data/workspace/media.cljs into the backend RPC method :create-file-media-object-from-url in backend/src/app/rpc/commands/media.clj, where media/download-image in backend/src/app/media.clj used the shared HTTP client without destination filtering, allowing an authenticated file editor to reach internal-only endpoints. This issue is fixed in version 2.15.0.

The advisory is available at github.com. This vulnerability was named CVE-2026-45806 since 05/13/2026. The exploitation appears to be easy. The attack can be initiated remotely. Successful exploitation requires user interaction by the victim. Technical details are known, but there is no available exploit. This vulnerability is assigned to T1592 by the MITRE ATT&CK project.

Upgrading to version 2.15.0 eliminates this vulnerability.
