Remote code execution via credentialed cross-origin requests
Published Jul 15, 2026 · Updated Jul 15, 2026
CORS and session flaws in Open WebUI before 0.3.14 allow remote attackers to execute code through an administrator's browser. Multiple FastAPI routers configure CORSMiddleware with wildcard origins and credentials, while logout leaves reusable session cookies; authenticated cross-site requests to /api/v1/functions can create and enable attacker-supplied Python. Exploitation requires an administrator to visit and interact with an attacker-controlled page, after which code runs with the Open WebUI service's privileges.
