Open WebUI is a self-hosted artificial intelligence platform designed to operate entirely offline. Prior to version 0.8.6, an access control check is missing when deleting a file from a knowledge base. The only check being done is that the user has write access to the knowledge base (or is admin), but NOT that the file actually belongs to this knowledge base. It is thus possible to delete arbitrary files from arbitrary knowledge bases (as long as one knows the file id). Version 0.8.6 patches the issue.
Open WebUI is a self-hosted artificial intelligence platform designed to operate entirely offline. Prior to 0.9.0, the /api/generate, /api/embed, /api/embeddings, and /api/show endpoints accept any model name from the user and forward the request to the Ollama backend without checking whether the user is authorized to access that model. These endpoints only require get_verified_user (any authenticated non-pending user) and validate that the model exists in the full unfiltered model list, but never check AccessGrants.has_access(). This vulnerability is fixed in 0.9.0.
Open WebUI is a self-hosted artificial intelligence platform designed to operate entirely offline. Prior to 0.9.0, the channel router does not call filter_allowed_access_grants on either create or update paths. A non-admin user who can create group channels (or who owns a channel) can submit arbitrary access grants — including public wildcard grants — and those grants are stored verbatim, bypassing the admin's permission framework. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.9.0.
Open WebUI is a self-hosted artificial intelligence platform designed to operate entirely offline. Prior to 0.9.0, any authenticated user with low privileges can enumerate active background tasks across the system and stop tasks belonging to other users via the GET /api/tasks and POST /api/tasks/stop/{task_id} methods. This allows a casual user to disrupt system-wide chat usage by continuously canceling other users' active tasks. This is a real authorization vulnerability affecting integrity and usability in multi-user deployments. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.9.0.
Open WebUI is a self-hosted artificial intelligence platform designed to operate entirely offline. Prior to 0.9.0, Open WebUI supports model composition via base_model_id: a user-defined model (e.g., "Cheap Assistant") can reference an existing base model (e.g., "gpt-4-turbo-restricted") that provides the actual inference capability. When a user queries the composed model, the access control pipeline verifies the user has access to the composed model but never re-verifies access to the chained base model. Additionally, the model creation and import endpoints accept arbitrary base_model_id values without checking that the caller has access to that base model. Combined, this allows any user with the default model creation permission to create a model that chains to a restricted base model — and then invoke it, causing the server to dispatch the request to the restricted base model using the admin-configured API key. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.9.0.
Open WebUI is a self-hosted artificial intelligence platform designed to operate entirely offline. Prior to 0.9.0, the GET /api/v1/channels/{id}/members endpoint only checks membership for group and dm channel types (lines 467-469). For standard channels — including private ones — there is no channel_has_access check before returning the member list. Any authenticated user who knows a private channel's UUID can enumerate all users with access to that channel. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.9.0.
Open WebUI is a self-hosted artificial intelligence platform designed to operate entirely offline. Prior to 0.9.5, the tool update endpoint (POST /api/v1/tools/id/{id}/update) is missing the workspace.tools permission check that is present on the tool create endpoint. This allows a user who has been explicitly denied tool management capabilities ( and who the administrator considers untrusted for code execution ) to replace a tool's server-side Python content and trigger execution, bypassing the intended workspace.tools security boundary. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.9.5.
Open WebUI is a self-hosted artificial intelligence platform designed to operate entirely offline. Prior to 0.9.0, the POST /api/v1/retrieval/process/web endpoint accepts a user-supplied collection_name and an overwrite query parameter (default: True). It performs no authorization check on whether the calling user owns or has write access to the target collection. When overwrite=True, save_docs_to_vector_db calls VECTOR_DB_CLIENT.delete_collection() on the target collection before writing new content. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.9.0.
Open WebUI is a self-hosted artificial intelligence platform designed to operate entirely offline. Prior to 0.9.0, the type: "file" (non-full-context), type: "text" with collection_name, and bare collection_name/collection_names paths in the get_sources_from_items function perform vector store queries without any authorization check, allowing users to extract content from files and knowledge bases they do not have access to. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.9.0.
Open WebUI is a self-hosted artificial intelligence platform designed to operate entirely offline. Prior to 0.9.0, FolderForm uses model_config = ConfigDict(extra='allow'), which permits arbitrary fields to pass through Pydantic validation and be included in model_dump(exclude_unset=True). In insert_new_folder, the server-assigned user_id is placed at the start of the dict and then overwritten by the spread of form data. Because FolderModel declares user_id: str as a real field (not just a form extra), any attacker-supplied user_id in the POST body is accepted by the model and persisted on the Folder row. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.9.0.
Open WebUI is a self-hosted artificial intelligence platform designed to operate entirely offline. Prior to 0.9.0, the /responses endpoint in the OpenAI router accepts any authenticated user and forwards requests directly to upstream LLM providers without enforcing per-model access control. While the primary chat completion endpoint (generate_chat_completion) checks model ownership, group membership, and AccessGrants before allowing a request, the /responses proxy only validates that the user has a valid session via get_verified_user. This allows any authenticated user to interact with any model configured on the instance by sending a POST request to /api/openai/responses with an arbitrary model ID. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.9.0.
Open WebUI is a self-hosted artificial intelligence platform designed to operate entirely offline. Prior to 0.9.0, the POST /api/v1/models/import endpoint allows users with the workspace.models_import permission to overwrite any existing model in the database, regardless of ownership. When an imported model's ID matches an existing model, the endpoint merges the attacker's payload over the existing model data and writes it to the database with no ownership or access grant validation. Additionally, filter_allowed_access_grants is never called, bypassing the access grant restrictions enforced on all other model mutation endpoints. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.9.0.
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.
Open WebUI is a self-hosted artificial intelligence platform designed to operate entirely offline. Prior to 0.8.6, in standard channels (i.e., channels whose channel.type is neither group nor dm), the endpoint POST /api/v1/channels/{channel_id}/messages/{message_id}/update can be accessed with read permission only. When access_control is set to None, the authorization check has_access(..., type="read") evaluates to True, allowing users who are not the message owner to update messages. As a result, unauthorized modification of other users’ messages is possible. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.8.6.
Open WebUI is a self-hosted artificial intelligence platform designed to operate entirely offline. Prior to 0.8.6, there is a vulnerability in chat completion API, which allows attackers to bypass tool restrictions, potentially enabling unauthorized actions or access. In the chat_completion API, the parameters tool_ids and tool_servers are supplied by the user. These parameters are used to create a tools_dict by the middleware. This is then used by get_tool_by_id to retrieve the appropriate tool. However, there is no checks in that ensures the user that uses the API has permission to use the tool, meaning that a user can invoke any server tool by supplying the correct tool_id or tool_servers parameters via the chat completion API. Moreover, the authentication token stored in the server would be used when invoking the tool, so the tool will be invoked with the server privilege. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.8.6.
An improper access control vulnerability in open-webui/open-webui v0.3.8 allows attackers to view and delete any files. The application does not verify whether the attacker is an administrator, allowing the attacker to directly call the GET /api/v1/files/ interface to retrieve information on all files uploaded by users, which includes the ID values. The attacker can then use the GET /api/v1/files/{file_id} interface to obtain information on any file and the DELETE /api/v1/files/{file_id} interface to delete any file.
An improper access control vulnerability in open-webui/open-webui v0.3.8 allows an attacker to view admin details. The application does not verify whether the attacker is an administrator, allowing the attacker to directly call the /api/v1/auths/admin/details interface to retrieve the first admin (owner) details.
In version v0.3.8 of open-webui/open-webui, improper access control vulnerabilities allow an attacker to view any prompts. The application does not verify whether the attacker is an administrator, allowing the attacker to directly call the /api/v1/prompts/ interface to retrieve all prompt information created by the admin, which includes the ID values. Subsequently, the attacker can exploit the /api/v1/prompts/command/{command_id} interface to obtain arbitrary prompt information.
A security vulnerability has been detected in Technostrobe HI-LED-WR120-G2 5.5.0.1R6.03.30. Affected is the function deletefile of the component FsBrowseClean. The manipulation of the argument dir/path leads to missing authorization. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
The Smartcat Translator for WPML plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the 'routeData' REST endpoint in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.77. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to overwrite the plugin's Smartcat API credentials (account ID, API secret key, hub key, API host, and hub host), effectively hijacking the translation service or causing a denial of service.
The Appointment Booking Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in versions up to and including 1.6.10.6. This is due to a flawed authorization logic in the nonce_permissions_check() method combined with the public exposure of a site-wide reusable nonce. The plugin exposes a public_nonce value through the /wp-json/ssa/v1/embed-inner endpoint, which is accessible to unauthenticated users. The appointment deletion endpoint at /wp-json/ssa/v1/appointments/{id}/delete and /wp-json/ssa/v1/appointments/bulk use a permission check that accepts requests containing both an X-WP-Nonce header (with any arbitrary value) and an X-PUBLIC-Nonce header (with the valid public nonce). When the X-WP-Nonce validation fails, the function falls back to validating the X-PUBLIC-Nonce without properly rejecting the request. Since the public_nonce is exposed to all unauthenticated visitors and is site-wide (not user-specific or appointment-specific), attackers can obtain it and use it to view details of arbitrary appointments, including the public_edit_url, or delete arbitrary appointments by ID. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to view, delete or modify any appointment in the system, disclosing sensitive appointment data, causing service disruption, and loss of booking records.
Missing Authorization vulnerability in WP Swings Points and Rewards for WooCommerce.This issue affects Points and Rewards for WooCommerce: from n/a through 1.5.0.
The Frontend File Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Unauthenticated Arbitrary Post Deletion in versions up to, and including, 18.2. This is due to lacking authentication protections and lacking a security nonce on the wpfm_delete_file AJAX action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete any posts and pages on the site.
The ElementsKit Elementor Addons plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the `Live_Action::reset()` function in all versions up to, and including, 3.8.2 The function is hooked to the WordPress `init` action and triggers when both `post` and `action=elementor` GET parameters are present, with no authentication or nonce verification. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to overwrite the Elementor content (`_elementor_data`) of any `elementskit_widget` custom post type by visiting a specially crafted URL. The widget's custom designs, text, and configurations are permanently replaced with a blank template.
Missing Authorization vulnerability in weDevs WP User Frontend allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels. This issue affects WP User Frontend: from n/a through 4.3.1.
The Pie Register – User Registration, Profiles & Content Restriction plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the pie_main() function in all versions up to, and including, 3.8.4.8. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change registration form status.
Missing Authorization vulnerability in bPlugins B Blocks b-blocks allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects B Blocks: from n/a through < 2.0.30.
Missing Authorization vulnerability in CRM Perks WP Insightly for Contact Form 7, WPForms, Elementor, Formidable and Ninja Forms cf7-insightly allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects WP Insightly for Contact Form 7, WPForms, Elementor, Formidable and Ninja Forms: from n/a through <= 1.1.5.
The mem0 1.0.0 server lacks authentication and authorization controls for its memory reset and table re-creation functionality accessible via the DELETE /memories endpoint. An unauthenticated attacker can send a DELETE request that triggers a reset operation, leading to the execution of a CREATE TABLE SQL statement. This can cause unexpected table re-creation, schema disruption, potential data loss, and denial of service for the memory management service.
The mem0 1.0.0 server lacks authentication and authorization controls for its memory deletion API endpoint (DELETE /memories/{memory_id}). The endpoint allows unauthenticated users to delete arbitrary memory records without verifying their identity or permissions. A remote attacker can exploit this by sending unauthenticated DELETE requests to remove any memory entry from the database, leading to unauthorized data loss and potential denial of service.
The Fluent Forms Pro Add On Pack plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 6.1.17. This is due to the `deleteFile()` method in the `Uploader` class lacking nonce verification and capability checks. The AJAX action is registered via `addPublicAjaxAction()` which creates both `wp_ajax_` and `wp_ajax_nopriv_` hooks. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary WordPress media attachments via the `attachment_id` parameter. Note: The researcher described file deletion via the `path` parameter using `sanitize_file_name()`, but the actual code uses `Protector::decrypt()` for path-based deletion which prevents exploitation. The vulnerability is exploitable via the `attachment_id` parameter instead.
The mem0 1.0.0 server lacks authentication and authorization controls for its memory deletion API endpoint (DELETE /memories). The endpoint allows unauthenticated users to delete memory records by specifying arbitrary user identifiers (e.g., user_id, run_id, agent_id) in the request query parameters. A remote attacker can exploit this by sending unauthenticated DELETE requests to erase memory data for any user, leading to unauthorized data loss and denial of service.
The Product Filter for WooCommerce by WBW plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized data loss due to a missing capability check in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.2. This is due to the plugin's MVC framework dynamically registering unauthenticated AJAX handlers via `wp_ajax_nopriv_` hooks without verifying user capabilities, combined with the base controller's `__call()` magic method forwarding undefined method calls to the model layer, and the `havePermissions()` method defaulting to `true` when no permissions are explicitly defined. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to truncate the plugin's `wp_wpf_filters` database table via a crafted AJAX request with `action=delete`, permanently destroying all filter configurations.
Missing Authorization vulnerability in Multi-column Tag Map.This issue affects Multi-column Tag Map: from n/a through 17.0.26.
Missing Authorization vulnerability in Aryan Shirani Bid Abadi Site Suggest site-suggest allows Accessing Functionality Not Properly Constrained by ACLs.This issue affects Site Suggest: from n/a through <= 1.3.9.
Missing Authorization vulnerability in Ovic Team Ovic Product Bundle allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Ovic Product Bundle: from n/a through 1.1.2.
The Bit Form – Contact Form Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized workflow execution due to missing authorization in the triggerWorkFlow function in all versions up to, and including, 2.21.6. This is due to a logic flaw in the nonce verification where the security check only blocks requests when both the nonce verification fails and the user is logged in. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to replay form workflow executions and trigger all configured integrations including webhooks, email notifications, CRM integrations, and automation platforms via the bitforms_trigger_workflow AJAX action granted they can obtain the entry ID and log IDs from a legitimate form submission response.
Missing Authorization vulnerability in kamleshyadav WP Bakery Autoresponder Addon vc-autoresponder-addon allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects WP Bakery Autoresponder Addon: from n/a through <= 1.0.6.

Missing Authorization vulnerability in Blend Media WordPress CTA easy-sticky-sidebar allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects WordPress CTA: from n/a through <= 2.1.2.
The MC4WP: Mailchimp for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 4.11.1. This is due to the plugin trusting the `_mc4wp_action` POST parameter without validation, allowing unauthenticated attackers to force the form to process unsubscribe actions instead of subscribe actions. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to arbitrarily unsubscribe any email address from the connected Mailchimp audience via the `_mc4wp_action` parameter, granted they can obtain the form ID (which is publicly exposed in the HTML source).
The WebPurify Profanity Filter plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the 'webpurify_save_options' function in all versions up to, and including, 4.0.2. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change plugin settings.
Missing Authorization vulnerability in sendy Sendy sendy allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Sendy: from n/a through <= 3.4.2.
