Description
Open WebUI is a self-hosted artificial intelligence platform designed to operate entirely offline. Prior to 0.5.11, there is a blind server side request forgery (SSRF) via the PDF generate function. In the PDF export, user inputs are interpreted as HTML and embedded into the PDF. According to tests, scripts and some potentially dangerous tags (iFrame, Object, etc.) are blocked, preventing server-side content from being read through this vulnerability. However, an image tag can be used to force a server-side request (SSRF), as shown in the following below. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.5.11.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability resides in the PDF generation feature of Open WebUI, where user supplied HTML is rendered into a PDF. While scripts and other dangerous tags are rejected, an image tag can be employed to trigger a server‑side GET request. This blind SSRF does not allow data theft directly but permits the attacker to probe internal services or potentially pivot further within the network, constituting a moderate confidentiality and availability risk.

Affected Systems

The affected product is Open WebUI. The CVE payload does not specify which specific versions are impacted; the fix was released in release 0.5.11 but no version information is provided to confirm whether later releases are fully secure.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 4.3, the risk is moderate. No EPSS score is available and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is inferred to be a crafted image tag included in the HTML sent to the PDF export endpoint; authentication requirements are not specified in the description, but the feature is generally available to users with access to the interface.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Open WebUI to version 0.5.11 or later to apply the vendor fix.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, block or remove the image tag from the PDF export input or sanitize all outbound requests originating from the PDF generation service.
  • Configure network controls to restrict outbound connections from the Open WebUI server to internal addresses, reducing the impact of any remaining SSRF vectors.
