FKIE_CVE-2026-26202

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-02-19 20:25 - Updated: 2026-02-20 19:32
Severity
7.5 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Summary
Penpot is an open-source design tool for design and code collaboration. Prior to version 2.13.2, an authenticated user can read arbitrary files from the server by supplying a local file path (e.g. `/etc/passwd`) as a font data chunk in the `create-font-variant` RPC endpoint, resulting in the file contents being stored and retrievable as a "font" asset. This is an arbitrary file read vulnerability. Any authenticated user with team edit permissions can read arbitrary files accessible to the Penpot backend process on the host filesystem. This can lead to exposure of sensitive system files, application secrets, database credentials, and private keys, potentially enabling further compromise of the server. In containerized deployments, the blast radius may be limited to the container filesystem, but environment variables, mounted secrets, and application configuration are still at risk. Version 2.13.2 contains a patch for the issue.

Antes de la versi\u00f3n 2.13.2, un usuario autenticado pod\u00eda leer archivos arbitrarios del servidor proporcionando una ruta de archivo local (por ejemplo, `/etc/ passwd`) como un fragmento de datos de fuente en el punto final RPC `create-font-variant`, lo que daba lugar a que el contenido del archivo se almacenara y pudiera recuperarse como un recurso de \u00abfuente\u00bb. Se trata de una vulnerabilidad de lectura de archivos arbitrarios. Cualquier usuario autenticado con permisos de edici\u00f3n de equipo puede leer archivos arbitrarios accesibles para el proceso backend de Penpot en el sistema de archivos del host. Esto puede dar lugar a la exposici\u00f3n de archivos sensibles del sistema, secretos de aplicaciones, credenciales de bases de datos y claves privadas, lo que podr\u00eda comprometer a\u00fan m\u00e1s el servidor. En implementaciones en contenedores, el radio de impacto puede limitarse al sistema de archivos del contenedor, pero las variables de entorno, los secretos montados y la configuraci\u00f3n de la aplicaci\u00f3n siguen estando en riesgo. La versi\u00f3n 2.13.2 contiene un parche para el problema."
