Overview

open-webui is an Open WebUI

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Injection via the load_tool_module_by_id function in the utils/plugin.py file. An attacker can execute arbitrary code in the context of the service account by supplying a crafted string that is not properly validated before being used in Python code execution. This is only exploitable if the attacker is authenticated.
