Attack profile from CVSS 3.1 · CNA. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-284.
Summary
Penpot, an open-source design and prototyping platform, is affected before 2.18.0. The delete-share-link RPC checks only that the caller can edit the parent file, not who created the share link or whether the caller is an owner or administrator (CWE-639). Any file editor who knows a share-link UUID can delete links created by other users and revoke external reviewers' access.

Description from the CNA
Penpot is an open-source design and prototyping platform. Prior to 2.18.0, the delete-share-link RPC retrieves a caller-selected share-link ID and verifies only that the caller can edit the parent file. It does not verify that the caller created the share link or has owner or administrator authority, allowing any file editor who knows a share-link UUID to delete links created by other users and revoke external reviewers' access. This issue is fixed in version 2.18.0.
