Overview

open-webui is an Open WebUI

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization via the /_resolve_authenticated_connection process. An attacker can gain unauthorized interactive terminal access by using a valid, unexpired JWT for an account with insufficient approval status through the WebSocket route, bypassing intended role checks. This is only exploitable if at least one terminal server is configured and the terminal access grants include the attacker's account, either through public read or group membership, and the attacker possesses a valid token and terminal server ID.
