Ecosystem-wide dependent count for version 0.11.0.

DescriptionCVE.org

Open WebUI is an extensible, feature-rich, and user-friendly self-hosted AI platform. Prior to 0.11.0, Open WebUI resolved a hostname during URL validation and rejected private, loopback, and link-local addresses, but the HTTP clients resolved the hostname again at connection time. An authenticated attacker who controlled authoritative DNS for a submitted hostname could answer with a public address during validation and an internal one during connection, reaching cloud metadata, loopback admin APIs, or internal services through URL ingest, chat image_url fetches, image editing, or OAuth profile-picture fetches, with most paths returning the response to the attacker and the OAuth path forwarding the OAuth access token. This issue is fixed in 0.11.0.

AnalysisAI

DNS rebinding bypasses Open WebUI's SSRF protection in all versions prior to 0.11.0, enabling authenticated attackers who control authoritative DNS for a submitted hostname to reach internal resources - including cloud instance metadata services (e.g., 169.254.169.254), loopback admin APIs, and internal network services. The root cause is a TOCTOU race: the hostname is resolved once for validation and again at connection time, letting a TTL=0 DNS record switch from a public IP during the check to an internal IP during the actual fetch. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation A valid authenticated account on the Open WebUI instance is required; no administrator rights and no non-default configuration are needed for the URL ingest, image_url, and image-editing entry points. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 6.3 vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N accurately reflects the mechanics: network-exploitable via any browser-reachable Open WebUI instance, but AC:H correctly captures that exploiting the DNS rebinding race requires timing control the attacker influences (via TTL=0) but does not guarantee. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade Open WebUI to version 0.11.0 or later (pip install --upgrade open-webui), which resolves the TOCTOU race by enforcing the IP blocklist at the connection layer rather than as a pre-flight DNS check; see the vendor advisory at https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/security/advisories/GHSA-h6x2-583h-x99r and release notes at https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/releases/tag/v0.11.0. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
