Open WebUI — Vulnerability (CVE-2026-44559)
Date: 2026-05
Affected: openwebui/open_webui
Attack vector: auth-bypass
Category: vulnerability-disclosure
Severity: Medium
CVE: CVE-2026-44559
CWE: CWE-862
CVSS: 4.3 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)

Open WebUI is a self-hosted artificial intelligence platform designed to operate entirely offline. Prior to 0.9.0, the GET /api/v1/channels/{id}/members endpoint only checks membership for group and dm channel types (lines 467-469). For standard channels — including private ones — there is no channel_has_access check before returning the member list. Any authenticated user who knows a private channel's UUID can enumerate all users with access to that channel. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.9.0.
