Overview

open-webui is an Open WebUI

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization via the OAuth token exchange process. An attacker can retain unauthorized access to roles, including administrative privileges, by exchanging a valid provider access token even after the required role has been revoked by the identity provider. This is only exploitable if ENABLE_OAUTH_TOKEN_EXCHANGE=True, ENABLE_OAUTH_ROLE_MANAGEMENT=True with OAUTH_ALLOWED_ROLES or OAUTH_ADMIN_ROLES configured, and the attacker possesses a valid, unexpired access token for a linked account.
