SCA: security update for open-webui (GHSA-cm35-v4vp-5xvx)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 435979

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- Open WebUI is a self-hosted artificial intelligence platform designed to operate entirely offline.
Versions 0.6.224 and prior contain a code injection vulnerability in the Direct Connections feature that
allows malicious external model servers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in victim browsers via Server-Sent
Event (SSE) execute events. This leads to authentication token theft, complete account takeover, and when
chained with the Functions API, enables remote code execution on the backend server. The attack requires
the victim to enable Direct Connections (disabled by default) and add the attacker's malicious model URL,
achievable through social engineering of the admin and subsequent users. This issue is fixed in version
0.6.35. (CVE-2025-64496)
