CVE-2026-44565 Details
Description
Open WebUI is a self-hosted artificial intelligence platform designed to operate entirely offline. Prior to 0.6.10, when uploading an audio file, the name of the file is derived from the original HTTP upload request and is not validated or sanitized. This allows for users to upload files with names containing dot-segments in the file path and traverse out of the intended uploads directory. Effectively, users can upload files anywhere on the filesystem the user running the web server has permission. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.6.10.
A path traversal vulnerability allowing arbitrary file upload and deletion has been identified in Open WebUI versions prior to 0.6.10. The issue arises because uploaded audio files are sent to a static directory without proper validation or sanitization of the file names. This flaw enables users to traverse out of the designated upload directory and overwrite or delete files anywhere on the server's filesystem, depending on the permissions of the user running the web server.
Users are advised to update to Open WebUI version 0.6.10 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
