Summary

In Open WebUI prior to version 0.10.0, the file upload path accepted the metadata.knowledge_id parameter and automatically linked uploaded files to a target knowledge base without applying the write-access check used by /api/v1/knowledge//file/add, allowing read-only knowledge-base users to add arbitrary files.

Risk Assessment

The risk is that users with limited permissions can unauthorizedly modify the knowledge base, potentially leading to data integrity violations and injection of malicious content.

Recommendation

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