SCA: security update for open-webui (GHSA-7r82-qhg4-6wvj)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 441606

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. Prior
 to 0.9.0, the POST /api/v1/retrieval/process/web endpoint accepts a user-supplied collection_name and an
 overwrite query parameter (default: True). It performs no authorization check on whether the calling user
 owns or has write access to the target collection. When overwrite=True, save_docs_to_vector_db calls
 VECTOR_DB_CLIENT.delete_collection() on the target collection before writing new content. This
 vulnerability is fixed in 0.9.0. (CVE-2026-44554)

Solution

Update the open-webui library and its related packages to version 0.9.0 or later.
