SCA: security update for open-webui (GHSA-3cg5-48j3-v4gv)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 445648

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 0.10.0 until
 0.11.0, the DELETE /api/v1/folders/{id} handler in backend/open_webui/routers/folders.py allowed a user
 granted write access to a shared chat folder to permanently delete chats and messages belonging to the
 folder owner. The cascade following the authorization check is bound to the folder owner's id, but the
 subfolder check accepted any inherited write grant instead of requiring ownership or administrator status.
 A collaborator can destroy the owner's subtree or force-move chats out of it when delete_contents=false.
 This issue is fixed in 0.11.0. (CVE-2026-70494)

Solution

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