Description
CVE-2026-44568 is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in open-webui versions prior to 0.9.0. The issue arises from improper sanitization order when rendering admin-configured "Pending User Overlay Content" in the AccountPending.svelte component. This allows an admin to inject arbitrary JavaScript that executes in the browser context of any pending user viewing the overlay. The vulnerability is fixed in version 0.9.0.
