AI-suggested

Upgrade Open WebUI to version 0.9.0 or later, where the authorization checks for base models in composed models have been properly implemented. No other mitigation is required as the fix addresses the root cause.

Description

Open WebUI versions prior to 0.9.0 contain a missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) in the model composition feature. This flaw allows users with default model creation permissions to create models that chain to restricted base models without proper access checks, enabling unauthorized use of admin-configured API keys. The issue is fixed in version 0.9.0.
