Summary

Open WebUI before version 0.9.5 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the OAuth authentication flow. The MIME type of the profile picture URL is inferred from the file extension rather than the Content-Type header, allowing SVG files to bypass the profile image validator and be stored as data URIs. Authenticated users visiting the profile image endpoint receive attacker-controlled SVG content, enabling script execution in the same origin to steal authentication tokens and achieve account takeover.

Risk Assessment

The risk for the organization includes the potential theft of session tokens and account takeover, which can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data and compromise system integrity.

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately upgrade Open WebUI to version 0.9.5 or later, which fixes this vulnerability. Additionally, consider implementing security headers (e.g., Content-Security-Policy) for profile image endpoints.

Original NVD description (English source)

Open WebUI before 0.9.5 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the OAuth authentication flow where the picture claim URL MIME type is inferred from file extension rather than Content-Type header, allowing SVG files to bypass the profile image validator and be stored as data URIs. Authenticated users who visit the profile image endpoint receive attacker-controlled SVG content with inline disposition and no default security headers, enabling script execution in the same origin to steal authentication tokens and achieve account takeover.
