CVE-2026-26193: Open WebUI vulnerable to Stored XSS via iFrame embeds in response messages
Manually modifying chat history allows setting the embeds property on a response message, the content of which is loaded into an iFrame with a sandbox that has allow-scripts and allow-same-origin set, ignoring the “iframe Sandbox Allow Same Origin” configuration. This enables stored XSS on the affected chat. This also triggers when the chat is in the shared format. The result is a shareable link containing the payload that can be distributed to any other users on the instance.
