Open WebUI is a self-hosted artificial intelligence platform designed to operate entirely offline. Prior to 0.9.0, the POST /api/v1/models/import endpoint allows users with the workspace.models_import permission to overwrite any existing model in the database, regardless of ownership. When an imported model's ID matches an existing model, the endpoint merges the attacker's payload over the existing model data and writes it to the database with no ownership or access grant validation. Additionally, filter_allowed_access_grants is never called, bypassing the access grant restrictions enforced on all other model mutation endpoints. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.9.0.
CVE-2026-44562
This medium-severity CVE scores 6.5 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 0.3%, top 79% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- Lower severity and no public exploit yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
