DescriptionGitHub Advisory

Open WebUI is a self-hosted artificial intelligence platform designed to operate entirely offline. Prior to version 0.8.6, an unsanitized filename field in the speech-to-text transcription endpoint allows any authenticated non-admin user to trigger a FileNotFoundError whose message - including the server's absolute DATA_DIR path - is returned verbatim in the HTTP 400 response body, confirming information disclosure on all default deployments. Version 0.8.6 patches the issue.

AnalysisAI

Open WebUI versions prior to 0.8.6 disclose the server's absolute DATA_DIR path to any authenticated non-admin user via unsanitized filename handling in the speech-to-text transcription endpoint, which returns FileNotFoundError messages in HTTP 400 responses. This information disclosure affects all default deployments and requires only user-level authentication to trigger. …
