CVE-2026-59212 Details
Description
Open WebUI is an extensible, feature-rich, and user-friendly self-hosted AI platform. From 0.9.6 before 0.10.0, _verify_knowledge_file_access only checked read access while file write and delete routes later trusted object-derived access through writable model meta.knowledge entries, allowing a user with read-only knowledge file access to upgrade to file write or delete operations. This issue is fixed in version 0.10.0.
A vulnerability in Open WebUI versions 0.9.6 prior to 0.10.0 allows users with read-only access to a file through a knowledge base to gain write or delete permissions. This issue arises because the access control validation for file knowledge entries only checks read access. Users can exploit this by attaching a readable file to an object they own, thereby gaining unauthorized write/delete rights on the file.
Users are advised to update to Open WebUI version 0.10.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
