CVE-2026-44569
HighSummary
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.
Risk Assessment
Organizations may be exposed to unauthorized modifications or deletions of messages by users, potentially leading to data loss and integrity breaches.
Recommendation
It is recommended to upgrade to version 0.6.19 or later to eliminate this vulnerability and implement additional security controls at the backend level.
Original NVD description (English source)
Open WebUI is a self-hosted artificial intelligence platform designed to operate entirely offline. Prior to 0.6.19, there's an IDOR in the channels message management system that allows authenticated users to modify or delete any message within channels they have read access to. The vulnerability exists in the message update and delete endpoints, which implement channel-level authorization but completely lack message ownership validation. While the frontend correctly implements ownership checks (showing edit/delete buttons only for message owners or admins), the backend APIs bypass these protections by only validating channel access permissions without verifying that the requesting user owns the target message. This creates a client-side security control bypass where attackers can directly call the APIs to modify other users' messages. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.6.19.
