Open WebUI: /api/v1/channels/{id}/members exposes full user model including sensitive credentials

Description
Summary
The channel members endpoint serializes and returns full user models for channel participants, including settings objects. A normal user in a DM can retrieve admin-only sensitive configuration such as webhook URLs and tool server key material (settings.ui.toolServers[].key), which is not available via standard user info APIs.
Details
The endpoint GET /api/v1/channels/{id}/members returns the full serialized user model for every member in the channel. In both the DM and non-DM code paths, the handler constructs the response with [UserModelResponse(**user.model_dump(), is_active=...)] and returns it as the users list. Because UserModel (models/users.py) includes a settings object (UserSettings) and arbitrary UI configuration (settings.ui), the endpoint exposes other users' sensitive configuration to any channel participant.
Practically, a regular user who participates in a DM or group can call /api/v1/channels/{id}/members and receive other members' settings, including admin-only details such as webhook notification URLs and tool server configuration, including credential fields like settings.ui.toolServers[].key. These values are not returned by the normal user profile endpoints (e.g., /api/v1/users/{user_id}/info).
PoC
- Start a local Open WebUI instance
- Log in as admin and in the Admin Panel, go to Settings -> General and check Channels (Beta), then press Save.
- Create a low-privilege user in the Users tab
- Click on the admin's profile bottom left, Settings and Integrations. Then click the
+after Manage Tool Servers to add some tool server with a secret Bearer token (eg.KEY) - Log in as the attacker with the low-privilege account and create a new Direct Message channel with the admin user:
- After creating, open DevTools with F12 and go to the Network tab. Then in the DM UI click on the Users icon top right to see the members. In the network tab, this should have triggered a
/api/v1/channels/{id}/membersrequest which responds with thesettingskey includingtoolServersandkeyvalues:
The attacker has now leaked the admin's bearer token for the toolserver they configured.
Impact
Conditions for exploit: channels are enabled and an attacker has a low-privilege account.
Webhook URLs and tool server configurations (including bearer keys) can be exfiltrated from any user.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for open-webui. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update open-webui to 0.10.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-gh7p-78x6-jw6m is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-gh7p-78x6-jw6m is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-gh7p-78x6-jw6m. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-gh7p-78x6-jw6m in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-gh7p-78x6-jw6m across PyPI dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
