SCA: security update for open-webui (GHSA-226f-f24g-524w)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 443358

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 0.9.6, backend/open_webui/utils/oauth.py::_process_picture_url calls validate_url(picture_url) on the
initial URL only, then invokes aiohttp.ClientSession.get(picture_url, ...) without allow_redirects=False.
aiohttp's default is allow_redirects=True, max_redirects=10; the function does not pass the project's
AIOHTTP_CLIENT_ALLOW_REDIRECTS env constant either. An attacker with a valid OAuth IdP identity can
therefore submit a public URL that 302-redirects to an internal address and read the internal response
body via the attacker's own profile_image_url field. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.9.6.
(CVE-2026-54008)

Solution

Update the open-webui library and its related packages to version 0.9.6 or later.
