CVE-2025-46571: Open WebUI allows limited stored XSS vila uploaded html file
Low privileged users can upload HTML files which contain JavaScript code via the /api/v1/files/ backend endpoint. This endpoint returns a file id, which can be used to open the file in the browser and trigger the JavaScript code in the user’s browser. Under the default settings, files uploaded by low-privileged users can only be viewed by admins or themselves, limiting the impact of this vulnerability.
