Summary

A vulnerability in Open WebUI before version 0.10.0 allows bypassing proxy path normalization by encoding the '../' sequence nine times in percent-encoded format. The _sanitize_proxy_path function decodes paths only eight times, enabling an attacker to access files outside the allowed directory.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can gain unauthorized access to system files or sensitive data on the server, potentially leading to information disclosure or further privilege escalation.

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, _sanitize_proxy_path in backend/open_webui/routers/terminals.py decoded proxy paths only eight times, allowing a nine-times percent-encoded ../ traversal value to pass normalization checks and be decoded by the upstream terminal server. This issue is fixed in version 0.10.0.
