Overview

open-webui is an Open WebUI

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to User Impersonation via the ws_terminal process. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to another user's terminal session by injecting crafted values into the session_id parameter, causing the backend to resolve the attacker's chosen user identity. This can be exploited by an authenticated user through manipulation of WebSocket requests or by leveraging trust in the X-User-Id header on the HTTP path.
