CVE-2026-45301 affects Open WebUI, a self-hosted AI platform, in versions prior to 0.3.16. The vulnerability is caused by a missing permission check across all files-related API endpoints. Because authorization is not properly enforced, any authenticated user can list, retrieve, and delete files uploaded by other users on the same platform. In practice, this is a broken access control issue in the files API that permits cross-tenant or cross-user access to file objects that should be restricted to their owners or otherwise authorized principals.
