CVE-2025-46571 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in Open WebUI prior to version 0.6.6. A low-privileged user can upload an HTML file containing attacker-controlled JavaScript through the /api/v1/files/ backend endpoint. The application returns a file ID that can later be used to open the uploaded file in a browser, including via paths such as /api/v1/files/{id}/content/html, where the content is served as text/html. When the file is viewed, the embedded JavaScript executes in the victim's browser in the context of the Open WebUI application. Under default settings, uploaded files from low-privileged users are generally viewable only by the uploader or administrators, which constrains exposure but still enables a targeted attack against admins. The provided context indicates the vulnerable logic around file-owner validation and admin-role checks was corrected in v0.6.6.

text/html content. Serve uploaded content as inert downloads where possible, apply strict content-type handling, and limit administrator exposure to user-supplied files. Operationally, reduce the likelihood of exploitation by preventing admins from opening links to uploaded user content and by segregating or minimizing high-risk administrative browsing sessions.Patch, then assume compromise.
