What is CVE-2026-21889?

Weblate, a web-based localization tool, contains a vulnerability that allows unauthorized access to screenshot images served by the HTTP server. Versions prior to 5.15.2 lack proper access control mechanisms, enabling unauthenticated users to potentially access sensitive screenshots by merely guessing their filenames. This issue has been addressed in version 5.15.2, which implements the necessary security measures to prevent such unauthorized access.
