Description

A Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the chat file upload functionality of open-webui/open-webui version 0.3.8. An attacker can inject malicious content into a file, which, when accessed by a victim through a URL or shared chat, executes JavaScript in the victim's browser. This can lead to user data theft, session hijacking, malware distribution, and phishing attacks.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for open-webui, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Remediation status

    The records we use list no patched version of open-webui for CVE-2024-7044. Check the maintainer's advisory, and where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range.

  3. Mitigate without a patch

    Escape or sanitise the affected output on the server side rather than relying on client-side filtering, and add a Content-Security-Policy that blocks inline script execution so injected markup cannot run even if it reaches the page.
