Overview

open-webui is an Open WebUI

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Infinite loop in the message-chain reconstruction process. An attacker can cause the server to hang and consume excessive resources by submitting a chat history with cyclic parent references and omitted id fields, resulting in a persistent denial of service for all users. This is only exploitable if a user with the default role creates a chat with a cyclic message history lacking id fields.
