AI-suggested

Upgrade Open WebUI to version 0.9.0 or later, where this authorization bypass vulnerability has been fixed. No other mitigation is required as the fix addresses the root cause by enforcing proper ownership and access grant validation on the import endpoint.

Description

Open WebUI versions prior to 0.9.0 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability in the POST /api/v1/models/import endpoint. This flaw allows users with the workspace.models_import permission to overwrite any existing model in the database regardless of ownership. The endpoint merges the attacker's payload over existing model data without validating ownership or access grants, bypassing normal access control checks. This vulnerability is fixed in version 0.9.0.
