Technical description

Open WebUI is a self-hosted artificial intelligence platform designed to operate entirely offline. Prior to 0.8.6, in standard channels (i.e., channels whose channel.type is neither group nor dm), the endpoint POST /api/v1/channels/{channel_id}/messages/{message_id}/update can be accessed with read permission only. When access_control is set to None, the authorization check has_access(..., type="read") evaluates to True, allowing users who are not the message owner to update messages. As a result, unauthorized modification of other users’ messages is possible. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.8.6.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
