CVE-2026-44986 Details
Description
Penpot is an open-source design tool for design and code collaboration. Prior to 2.14.5, Penpot exposed teams_invitations.clj invitation tokens from create-team-invitations, embedded an existing profile id in auth.clj prepare-register-profile, and had auth.clj register-profile issue a session based on the invitation email match without password verification, allowing a registered user to take over any non-blocked profile. This issue is fixed in version 2.14.5.
A vulnerability in Penpot prior to version 2.14.5 allows a registered user to take over any non-blocked profile by exploiting the team-invitation process. The issue arises because the application improperly handles invitation tokens and profile identification during the registration process. Specifically, the vulnerability is present in versions through 2.15.0.
Users are advised to update to Penpot version 2.14.5 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
