CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe Open WebUI platform is vulnerable in versions 0.10.0 to 0.11.1, where a flaw in the DELETE API allows non-administrators with write access to delete critical external connections, potentially disrupting access to dependent knowledge bases. This could lead to significant data loss and service unavailability for users relying on shared configurations. Organizations utilizing Open WebUI, especially those managing sensitive or interconnected knowledge bases, should prioritize upgrading to version 0.11.1 to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description
Open WebUI is an extensible, feature-rich, and user-friendly self-hosted AI platform. From 0.10.0 until 0.11.1, DELETE /api/v1/knowledge/{id}/delete in backend/open_webui/routers/knowledge.py authorized deletion against the knowledge base but then removed its administrator-owned external connection without a separate administrator check or a check for other dependent knowledge bases. A non-administrator with write access to one external knowledge base could delete shared instance configuration and make every other knowledge base using that connection unavailable. This issue is fixed in version 0.11.1.
