Open WebUI: Any authenticated user can hang the server via a cyclic chat message history

CVSS 3.1 6.5 MEDIUMCheck source for fixed versionsKEV status unknown

cve-program · CVE-2026-88002

Published

Open WebUI is an extensible, feature-rich, and user-friendly self-hosted AI platform. From 0.5.0 until 0.11.1, the message-chain reconstruction helper in backend/open_webui/utils/misc.py advanced through a chat history by map key but tracked visited entries using each message body's optional id field. An authenticated user could store id-less messages in a parent cycle and trigger a non-terminating walk that blocked the async event loop, grew memory until termination, and remained persistent across process restarts. This issue is fixed in version 0.11.1.
