Overview

open-webui is an Open WebUI

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Authorization via the chat completion, chat completed, and chat action endpoints when an inline model definition is used with attached knowledge metadata. An attacker can access the indexed content of another user's or group's file by supplying a known file id in the request. This is only exploitable if the attacker is an authenticated user, knows the target file's id, and the request uses native function calling with the builtin_tools capability enabled.
