DescriptionCVE.org

Open WebUI is an extensible, feature-rich, and user-friendly self-hosted AI platform. From 0.9.5 until 0.11.1, the channel branch of chat_completion in backend/open_webui/main.py checked channel write access and channel membership for a supplied message_id but did not verify that the calling user authored the targeted message. A channel member could use the chat completions endpoint to replace another member's message while preserving the victim as the stored author, altering the conversation record without gaining access to other channels. This issue is fixed in version 0.11.1.

AnalysisAI

Message authorship is not verified in Open WebUI's chat_completion endpoint (versions 0.9.5-0.11.0), allowing any authenticated channel member with write access to silently overwrite another member's messages while the victim remains listed as the stored author. The flaw is an IDOR-class authorization failure (CWE-639) in backend/open_webui/main.py: the channel branch checked channel membership and write permission but never validated that the requesting user owned the targeted message_id. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The attacker must be an authenticated member of the target channel with channel write access - there is no unauthenticated exploitation path (CVSS PR:L). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.3 Medium rating with AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N is well-calibrated for this issue: exploitation requires only authenticated channel membership (PR:L), is straightforward to carry out (AC:L), but produces only integrity impact (I:L) with no confidentiality or availability consequences. … 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 to Open WebUI v0.11.1 or later, which adds the message-authorship ownership check in the chat_completion channel branch. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
