SCA: security update for open-webui (GHSA-jxwr-g6r6-j3fx)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 442202

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 0.6.19, there's an IDOR in the channels message management system that allows authenticated users to
modify or delete any message within channels they have read access to. The vulnerability exists in the
message update and delete endpoints, which implement channel-level authorization but completely lack
message ownership validation. While the frontend correctly implements ownership checks (showing
edit/delete buttons only for message owners or admins), the backend APIs bypass these protections by only
validating channel access permissions without verifying that the requesting user owns the target message.
This creates a client-side security control bypass where attackers can directly call the APIs to modify
other users' messages. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.6.19. (CVE-2026-44569)

Solution

Update the open-webui library and its related packages to version 0.6.19 or later.
