Overview

open-webui is an Open WebUI

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insufficient Session Expiration via misconfiguration of the CORSMiddleware module and improper session management. An attacker can gain unauthorized access and execute arbitrary code by enticing an authenticated administrator to interact with a malicious website, which leverages cross-origin requests to the application. This can result in full compromise of the container when the application is running with elevated privileges. Session cookies are not invalidated upon logout, allowing attackers with access to previous session details to reuse them for unauthorized access.
