SCA: security update for open-webui (GHSA-wch8-mhj5-9frg)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 443381

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, POST /api/chat/completions accepts an image_url.url value that, when it does NOT start with
 http://, https://, or data:image/, is interpreted as a file id and resolved against the global file table
 with no ownership check. an authenticated user can therefore set image_url.url to another user's file id,
 the server reads that file from disk, base64-encodes it, and injects the data URI into the LLM request.
 the user then prompts the LLM to describe / OCR the file and reads the content back. This vulnerability is
 fixed in 0.9.6. (CVE-2026-54009)

Solution

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