🔬 Technical Analysis

#

Summary Open WebUI v0.9.5 lets an authenticated user attach arbitrary file_id values to their own chat message without checking whether they own or can read those files. If the attacker then shares that chat and grants themselves read access, has_access_to_file() treats the victim file as accessible through the shared chat, and the file endpoints read or delete the victim file.

Impact Security boundary crossed: file confidentiality and integrity. An authenticated attacker who knows or obtains a victim file_id can make Open WebUI authorize, through an attacker-owned shared chat: - reading the victim file via GET /api/v1/files/{id}/content, and

• deleting the victim file via DELETE /api/v1/files/{id}.

Root Cause Client-controlled message file IDs are persisted without fi
