Account takeover via cross-server session cookie leakage
Published Sep 9, 2026 · Updated Sep 10, 2026
Sensitive information exposure in Open WebUI 0.6.27 through 0.11.0 allows attackers to take over accounts via leaked session cookies. The tool-loading routine in backend/open_webui/utils/tools.py closes over a shared cookie jar instead of binding each jar to its external-tool callable, causing a bearer-authenticated request to receive cookies from the connection processed last. Exploitation requires multiple attached tool servers, a session or system OAuth connection processed last, and a user tool call reaching a server operated by the attacker.
