CVE-2024-12537: Open WebUI Uncontrolled Resource Consumption vulnerability

March 20, 2025 (updated March 21, 2025)

In version 0.3.32 of open-webui/open-webui, the absence of authentication mechanisms allows any unauthenticated attacker to access the api/v1/utils/code/format endpoint. If a malicious actor sends a POST request with an excessively high volume of content, the server could become completely unresponsive. This could lead to severe performance issues, causing the server to become unresponsive or experience significant degradation, ultimately resulting in service interruptions for legitimate users.
