CVE-2026-45339
CVSS v2.0
8.5
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:N |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Open WebUI versions prior to 0.9.0
Description
An issue exists where administrators' restrictions on API endpoint access can be bypassed. While requests using the
Authorization: Bearer header are correctly blocked when restricted from the '/api/v1/messages' endpoint, providing the same API key via the x-api-key header allows the request to be authenticated and processed. This occurs because the endpoint restriction check is only applied to keys presented via the Authorization header, whereas the x-api-key header, used for Anthropic-compatible API paths, skips this check while remaining valid for authentication. Consequently, any API key can access any endpoint regardless of its configured restrictions.Recommendations
Update to version 0.9.0.
