Stored XSS via permissive response-message iframe sandbox
Published Feb 19, 2026 · Updated Feb 19, 2026
Stored XSS in response-message embeds in Open WebUI before 0.6.44 allows remote authenticated users to execute script via a shared chat. ResponseMessage.svelte passes user-controlled message.embeds values to FullHeightIframe while hardcoding allowScripts and allowSameOrigin as true, defeating the configured sandbox boundary. An authenticated attacker must alter a chat history and persuade another user to open the chat or its shared link, enabling session-token theft and account takeover.
