Overview

open-webui is an Open WebUI

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Authorization through the chat completions process. An attacker can overwrite another user's message content by submitting a crafted request to the endpoint, causing the original message to be replaced while retaining the victim's authorship. This is only exploitable if channels are enabled (ENABLE_CHANNELS set to true) and the attacker has write access to the target channel and knows the message id, which is accessible to all channel members.
