SCA: security update for open-webui (GHSA-5gpj-vj23-vhhv)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 445651

Description

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

 - Open WebUI is an extensible, feature-rich, and user-friendly self-hosted AI platform. From 0.8.8 until
 0.11.0, the terminal WebSocket route in backend/open_webui/routers/terminals.py authenticated its own
 first-message JWT and never applied the verified-user role gate that get_verified_user enforces on HTTP
 terminal routes. An account whose role is pending, including a registered but unapproved account or an
 account deactivated back to pending, can open an interactive terminal session when at least one terminal
 server is configured and its access grants cover the account. This loses the account-approval boundary for
 terminal access while the HTTP terminal routes correctly reject the same account. This issue is fixed in
 0.11.0. (CVE-2026-70490)

Solution

Update the open-webui library and its related packages to version 0.11.0 or later.
