Overview

open-webui is an Open WebUI

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Authorization in the GET /api/tasks and POST /api/tasks/stop/{task_id} endpoints, which lack proper ownership checks. An attacker can enumerate and terminate background tasks belonging to other users by sending authenticated requests to these endpoints. This can result in widespread disruption of ongoing processes for all users in a multi-user environment.
