Open WebUI is an extensible, feature-rich, and user-friendly self-hosted AI platform. From 0.7.0 until 0.11.1, the built-in knowledge search tool passed the caller's readable knowledge identifiers through a metadata filter, but the search methods in eleven shipped vector backends ignored that filter. An authenticated user on an affected backend could enumerate the identifiers, names, and descriptions of inaccessible knowledge bases from the shared collection, although the associated document text remained in separate collections. This issue is fixed in version 0.11.1.
CVE-2026-87017
This medium-severity CVE scores 4.3 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.2%, top 88% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- Lower severity and no public exploit yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
