Description
Open WebUI is an extensible, feature-rich, and user-friendly self-hosted AI platform. From 0.9.0 until 0.11.0, Open WebUI checked whether a user-supplied URL destination was globally routable by applying ipaddress.is_global to the literal IPv6 address without examining IPv4 addresses embedded in transition encodings. On a deployment with a NAT64 gateway, any verified user could wrap an internal or cloud-metadata IPv4 address in the NAT64 well-known prefix, pass the filter, and receive the internal response body through RAG URL ingestion, URL-to-markdown conversion, or web-search content retrieval. This issue is fixed in 0.11.0.

AI Analysis

Impact

Open WebUI releases 0.9.0 through 0.11.0 incorrectly filtered URL destinations, permitting authenticated users to embed internal IPv4 addresses within NAT64 well‑known prefixes. The application then processed these URLs in RAG ingestion, URL‑to‑markdown conversion, or web‑search content retrieval, returning the internal response body to the user. This flaw allows users to read data from internal services and cloud‑metadata endpoints, effectively leaking sensitive internal information.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the Open WebUI product from the open-webui vendor, specifically versions 0.9.0 up to and including 0.11.0. Any deployment that runs one of these versions behind a NAT64 gateway is susceptible.

Risk and Exploitability

The flaw carries a CVSS score of 7.1. No EPSS score is provided, and it is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, indicating a moderate likelihood of exploitation. The attack requires a verified user with access to submit URLs and a NAT64‑enabled network, and an attacker can craft a NAT64‑encoded IPv4 address targeting an internal service or metadata endpoint to retrieve its response. The impact is limited to internal data leakage, not full remote code execution.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Open WebUI to v0.11.0 or later, where the issue is fixed
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, restrict authenticated users from invoking URL ingestion, markdown conversion, or web search features that accept external URLs
  • Configure the reverse proxy or firewall to block requests that resolve to internal IP ranges via NAT64 encoding
  • Consider disabling NAT64 on the deployment if internal services must remain inaccessible from the web UI
