CVE-2026-44549
HighSummary
Open WebUI is a self-hosted artificial intelligence platform that prior to version 0.8.0 previewed Excel file attachments in an unsafe manner. A crafted XLSX file payload could exploit the sheetjs function sheet_to_html to embed an XSS payload into the generated HTML.
Risk Assessment
Exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to the injection of malicious JavaScript code into the application, posing a serious threat to user data security.
Recommendation
It is recommended to upgrade Open WebUI to version 0.8.0 or later to mitigate this vulnerability.

In Open WebUI prior to version 0.8.6, there is a vulnerability in the chat completion API that allows attackers to bypass tool restrictions, potentially enabling unauthorized actions or access.
- CVE-2026-45338High
In Open WebUI prior to version 0.9.0, a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability exists in the _process_picture_url() function, allowing an attacker to force the server to make HTTP requests to internal resources.
- CVE-2026-45315High
Open WebUI prior to version 0.9.3 has a vulnerability that allows audio files with HTML extensions to be uploaded, potentially leading to the execution of malicious code in users' browsers. A user with the appropriate permissions can trick others into opening a malicious link.
- CVE-2026-45303High
Open WebUI is a self-hosted artificial intelligence platform that prior to version 0.6.5 allowed for script injection and execution through the HTML rendering view. The chat content was embedded in an iFrame with sandbox restrictions that were largely ineffective.
- CVE-2026-45301High
Open WebUI is a self-hosted artificial intelligence platform that prior to version 0.3.16 had a missing permission check in files related to API endpoints. This allowed any authenticated user to list, access, and delete every file uploaded by other users.
- CVE-2026-44570High
In Open WebUI prior to version 0.6.19, there were inconsistencies in authorization controls surrounding the memories API, allowing standard users to delete, restore, and view the contents of other users' memories.
- CVE-2026-44569High
In Open WebUI prior to version 0.6.19, there is an IDOR vulnerability in the channels message management system that allows authenticated users to modify or delete any message within channels they have access to. The issue arises from a lack of message ownership validation in the message update and delete endpoints.
- CVE-2026-44567High
Open WebUI is a self-hosted artificial intelligence platform that prior to version 0.1.124 did not properly validate whether a user has an authorized role. By default, when new user sign-ups are enabled, the user role is set to 'pending', requiring administrator intervention to assign the appropriate role.
- CVE-2026-44566High
Open WebUI is an artificial intelligence platform that prior to version 0.1.124 did not validate or sanitize file names uploaded by users. This allows users to upload files with names containing dot-segments, enabling traversal out of the intended upload directory.
- CVE-2026-44565High
Open WebUI is a self-hosted artificial intelligence platform that prior to version 0.6.10 did not validate or sanitize file names when uploading audio files. This allows users to upload files with names containing dot-segments, enabling traversal out of the intended uploads directory.
Original NVD description (English source)
Open WebUI is a self-hosted artificial intelligence platform designed to operate entirely offline. Prior to 0.8.0, Excel file attachments are previewed in an unsafe way. A crafted XLSX file payload can be used to cause the sheetjs function sheet_to_html to embed an XSS payload into the generated HTML. This is subsequently added to the DOM unsanitized via @html causing the payload to trigger. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.8.0.
