8.7High

CVE-2026-47665

Penpot is an open-source design and prototyping platform. In versions up to and including 2.14.3, Penpot is vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting through file comments, whose content is stored as raw text and rendered into the page with innerHTML without any sanitization. Because the backend applies only a length check and the frontend writes comment content directly through innerHTML, any team member who can comment on a shared file can embed HTML such as an image error handler or script that executes in the browser of every other collaborator. The attack is passive: any user who opens the comments panel on the affected file triggers script execution on the Penpot origin, allowing theft of session cookies, actions performed as the victim, and access to their files and projects. This issue is fixed in version 2.15.3.

What this means for your business

  • An attacker can use it remotely, over a network, with an ordinary user login, but only after tricking someone into an action such as opening a file or a link.
  • FIRST's prediction model gives it a 0.3% chance of attack attempts being seen in the next 30 days, ranking above 16% of all known flaws.

What to do

  1. 1Ask your IT team or provider whether any of your systems use the affected product.
  2. 2If you do, follow the vendor's guidance. No patch reference has been published yet.
