Overview
open-webui is an Open WebUI
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization in the process_uploaded_file process. An attacker can modify the file membership of a knowledge base without proper authorization by supplying a crafted metadata.knowledge_id value during file upload, which results in unauthorized files being associated with the target knowledge base and accessible to its readers and owners. This is only exploitable if the attacker has a verified account with read access to the target knowledge base and knows its identifier.
