Summary

In Open WebUI before version 0.10.0, the _verify_knowledge_file_access function only checked read permissions, while file write and delete routes later trusted permissions derived from the writable model meta.knowledge object. This allowed a user with read-only knowledge file access to gain file write or delete capabilities.

Risk Assessment

The organization is at risk of unauthorized modification or deletion of knowledge files by users who should only have read access, potentially leading to data loss or system integrity compromise.

Recommendation

Immediately update Open WebUI to version 0.10.0 or later, which includes a fix for this vulnerability.

Original NVD description (English source)

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.
