Penpot before 2.18.0 binds the MCP server plugin WebSocket bridge to all network interfaces without authentication in single-user mode. Unauthenticated attackers on adjacent networks can connect to the WebSocket port to impersonate the Penpot browser plugin, intercept task payloads, and return forged results to the MCP client.
