Overview

open-webui is an Open WebUI

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization through the DELETE /api/v1/folders/{id} process. An attacker can permanently delete another user's chat history and subfolders by exploiting inherited write permissions on shared subfolders. This is only exploitable if the folder sharing permission is enabled, the victim has shared a folder with write access, and both the folder feature and chat deletion permission are enabled.
