Open WebUI before 0.9.5 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the OAuth authentication flow where the picture claim URL MIME type is inferred from file extension rather than Content-Type header, allowing SVG files to bypass the profile image validator and be stored as data URIs. Authenticated users who visit the profile image endpoint receive attacker-controlled SVG content with inline disposition and no default security headers, enabling script execution in the same origin to steal authentication tokens and achieve account takeover.
CVE-2026-56398
This critical-severity CVE scores 9.0 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 0.6%, top 51% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory enrichment pending alignment with NVD CVSS.
- High severity, but no confirmed exploitation yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
