Open WebUI — Vulnerability (CVE-2026-54019)
Date: 2026-06
Affected: openwebui/open_webui
Attack vector: auth-bypass
Category: vulnerability-disclosure
Severity: Medium
CVE: CVE-2026-54019
CWE: CWE-862
CWE-943
CVSS: 6.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)

Open WebUI is a self-hosted artificial intelligence platform designed to operate entirely offline. Prior to 0.9.6, Open WebUI added collection-level ACL checks, but the patch can still be bypassed when Milvus multitenancy mode is enabled. The ACL allows unknown non-KB collection names as legacy/ephemeral collections. In Milvus multitenancy mode, that user-controlled collection name becomes a resource_id and is interpolated into a Milvus expression without escaping. This is caused by an incomplete fix for CVE-2026-44560 This vulnerability is fixed in 0.9.6.
