SCA: security update for open-webui (GHSA-4pcg-253r-rf9w)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 442177

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 0.8.6, there is a vulnerability in chat completion API, which allows attackers to bypass tool
 restrictions, potentially enabling unauthorized actions or access. In the chat_completion API, the
 parameters tool_ids and tool_servers are supplied by the user. These parameters are used to create a
 tools_dict by the middleware. This is then used by get_tool_by_id to retrieve the appropriate tool.
 However, there is no checks in that ensures the user that uses the API has permission to use the tool,
 meaning that a user can invoke any server tool by supplying the correct tool_id or tool_servers parameters
 via the chat completion API. Moreover, the authentication token stored in the server would be used when
 invoking the tool, so the tool will be invoked with the server privilege. This vulnerability is fixed in
 0.8.6. (CVE-2026-45350)

Solution

Update the open-webui library and its related packages to version 0.8.6 or later.
