CVE-2026-28786

EUVD-2026-16480

27.03.2026, 00:16

Open WebUI is a self-hosted artificial intelligence platform designed to operate entirely offline. Prior to version 0.8.6, an unsanitized filename field in the speech-to-text transcription endpoint allows any authenticated non-admin user to trigger a `FileNotFoundError` whose message — including the server's absolute `DATA_DIR` path — is returned verbatim in the HTTP 400 response body, confirming information disclosure on all default deployments. Version 0.8.6 patches the issue.

Common Weakness Enumeration

CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')
