Report: Update: CVE-2026-45398 - Open WebUI: IDOR - Retrieval API Bypasses Knowledge Base Access Controls

CVE ID :CVE-2026-45398 Published : May 15, 2026, 8:35 p.m. | 49 minutes ago Description :Open WebUI is a self-hosted artificial intelligence platform designed to operate entirely offline. Prior to 0.9.5, _validate_collection_access() checks the user-memory-* and file-* collection name prefixes but does not check knowledge base collections, which use raw UUIDs as collection names. Any authenticated user who knows a private knowledge base UUID can read its content through the retrieval query endpoints, even though the knowledge API correctly denies that user access. The same gap affects the retrieval write endpoints (/process/text, /process/file, /process/files/batch, /process/web, /process/youtube), allowing an attacker to inject content into or overwrite another user's knowledge base. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.9.5. Severity: 0.0 | NA Visit the link for more details, such as CVSS details, affected products, timeline, and more...
