## What is CVE-2026-45806?

CVE-2026-45806 is a high-severity server-side request forgery vulnerability in penpot, published on 15 Jul 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

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.

Weakness: CWE-918 (Server-Side Request Forgery)

What it is: CVE-2026-45806 is a high-severity server-side request forgery vulnerability in penpot, published on 15 Jul 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-45806 exists.

Affected product: penpot. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
