32th percentile - higher than 32% of all known CVEs

Summary

Open WebUI 0.11.0 before 0.11.4 compiles user-chosen grep patterns for its knowledge and chat file search tools with a regex engine that expands nested counted repetition unbounded at compile time and caches the result. Authenticated users can have the model call grep_knowledge_files with short nested-repetition patterns, blocking the event loop and exhausting worker memory.

Risk Assessment

The risk is blocking the event loop and exhausting memory, leading to service unavailability and crashes.

Recommendation

Update Open WebUI to version 0.11.4 or later. Also, restrict access to search tools to trusted users or impose pattern constraints.
