CVE-2024-7041Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated memory overwrite via unchecked record identifier

Published Oct 9, 2024 · Updated Oct 15, 2025

IDOR in Open WebUI 0.3.8 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to overwrite other users' saved memories through the update API. The /api/v1/memories/{memory_id}/update handler authenticates the caller but passes the supplied ID to Memories.update_memory_by_id without verifying record ownership. A valid low-privilege account and another memory identifier are required; successful requests change that user's stored content.
