Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-17 14:15 – Updated: 2026-07-20 21:04Summary
Open WebUI lets a user who can create, update, or import workspace models store arbitrary meta.knowledge entries on their model without checking whether they own or can read the referenced files. Open WebUI then treats meta.knowledge entries of type file as an authorization source in two places: the built-in view_file tool reads the file's extracted text, and has_access_to_file()'s model branch authorizes the file content and file delete endpoints. A malicious model owner can therefore attach another user's file ID to their model metadata and read or delete that private file.
Impact
Security boundary crossed: file confidentiality and integrity.
An authenticated attacker needs the workspace.models or workspace.models_import permission (or write access to an existing model) and a victim file ID. With those, for a file they do not own and cannot otherwise read, the attacker can:
- read the file's extracted text (up to
100000characters perview_filecall fromfile.data.content), - read the file's content via
GET /api/v1/files/{id}/content, and - delete the file via
DELETE /api/v1/files/{id}.
Root Cause
ModelMeta allows extra metadata fields and ModelForm accepts that metadata without a validator for meta.knowledge file access:
# backend/open_webui/models/models.py
class ModelForm(BaseModel):
model_config = ConfigDict(extra='ignore')
id: str
base_model_id: Optional[str] = None
name: str
meta: ModelMeta
params: ModelParams
Model creation only checks the caller's model-workspace permission and then stores the form data:
# backend/open_webui/routers/models.py
if user.role != 'admin' and not await has_permission(
user.id, 'workspace.models', request.app.state.config.USER_PERMISSIONS, db=db
):
raise HTTPException(...)
model = await Models.insert_new_model(form_data, user.id, db=db)
The insert sink persists the supplied meta:
# backend/open_webui/models/models.py
result = Model(
**{
**form_data.model_dump(exclude={'access_grants'}),
'user_id': user_id,
...
}
)
When built-in tools are assembled, meta.knowledge is passed through as __model_knowledge__, and any file entry enables view_file:
# backend/open_webui/utils/tools.py
model_knowledge = model.get('info', {}).get('meta', {}).get('knowledge', [])
...
knowledge_types = {item.get('type') for item in model_knowledge}
if 'file' in knowledge_types or 'collection' in knowledge_types:
builtin_functions.append(view_file)
view_file treats matching __model_knowledge__ file IDs as authorization, before has_access_to_file():
# backend/open_webui/tools/builtin.py
if (
file.user_id != user_id
and user_role != 'admin'
and not any(
item.get('type') == 'file' and item.get('id') == file_id for item in (__model_knowledge__ or [])
)
and not await has_access_to_file(...)
):
return json.dumps({'error': 'File not found'})
The same forged meta.knowledge is also trusted outside the tool path. has_access_to_file() iterates the caller's accessible models and returns true when a model's meta.knowledge contains the requested file ID:
# backend/open_webui/utils/access_control/files.py
for model in await Models.get_models_by_user_id(user.id, permission=access_type, db=db):
knowledge_items = getattr(model.meta, 'knowledge', None) or []
for item in knowledge_items:
if isinstance(item, dict) and item.get('type') == 'file' and item.get('id') == file.id:
return True
This branch is not restricted to read, so it also satisfies the write check that DELETE /api/v1/files/{id} performs. The same missing validation applies to the import path (POST /api/v1/models/import) and the update path, not only create.

The PoC executes the real Models.insert_new_model() sink and the real view_file() authorization branch with fake database/file adapters. It first confirms that the attacker-owned model stores a forged victim file ID in meta.knowledge, then confirms view_file() denies the same victim file without model knowledge but discloses content when the forged model knowledge entry is present.

Exploit Sketch
- Attacker has permission to create or update workspace models.
- Attacker creates a model with:
{
"meta": {
"knowledge": [
{
"id": "VICTIM_FILE_ID",
"type": "file",
"name": "victim-private.txt"
}
],
"builtinTools": {
"knowledge": true
}
}
}
- Attacker chats with that model using native/built-in tools and invokes
view_fileforVICTIM_FILE_ID. - The tool returns the victim file's extracted text content despite the attacker not owning or otherwise having access to the file.
Recommended Fix
Validate meta.knowledge on every model write path: create, update, and import. For entries with type == "file", require direct ownership, admin role, or has_access_to_file(file_id, 'read', user, db=db) before storing the entry. Validate the import payload before its surrounding try/except so a rejection surfaces as 403, not 500.
Do not let view_file() treat __model_knowledge__ as an authorization bypass; it should still enforce ownership/admin/has_access_to_file() per file ID. File deletion should require ownership, admin, or explicit write/delete access, not a read-derived model association.
Consolidation
Per our Report Handling policy this consolidates independent reports of the same model meta.knowledge file-ID laundering flaw:
- Read via forged
meta.knowledgeon model create, through the built-inview_filetool: @0xEr3n (earliest filing). - Distinct paths demonstrated by @5yu4n: the import endpoint (
POST /api/v1/models/import), and cross-user read and deletion through the file API (GET/DELETE /api/v1/files/{id}) viahas_access_to_file()'s model branch.
Fix validates meta.knowledge ownership on create, update, and import; blocking the forged entry closes both read and delete. One CVE for the consolidated advisory.

database/file adapters. It first confirms that the attacker-owned model stores a forged victim file ID in `meta.knowledge`, then confirms `view_file()` denies the same victim file without model knowledge but discloses content when the forged model knowledge entry is present.\n\nResult:\n\n```json\n{\n \"attacker_owns_file\": false,\n \"attacker_user_id\": \"attacker\",\n \"confirmed\": true,\n \"model_insert_sink\": {\n \"db_commit_called\": true,\n \"insert_returned_model\": true,\n \"stored_knowledge_file_ids\": [\n \"victim-private-file\"\n ],\n \"stored_model_ids\": [\n \"attacker-model\"\n ],\n \"stored_user_ids\": [\n \"attacker\"\n ]\n },\n \"tool_read\": {\n \"private_content_disclosed\": true,\n \"with_forged_model_knowledge\": {\n \"content\": \"PRIVATE_MODEL_KNOWLEDGE_SECRET\",\n \"filename\": \"victim-private.txt\",\n \"id\": \"victim-private-file\"\n },\n \"without_model_knowledge\": {\n \"error\": \"File not found\"\n }\n },\n \"victim_file_id\": \"victim-private-file\",\n \"victim_user_id\": \"victim\"\n}\n```\n\n## Exploit Sketch\n\n1. Attacker has permission to create or update workspace models.\n2. Attacker creates a model with:\n\n```json\n{\n \"meta\": {\n \"knowledge\": [\n {\n \"id\": \"VICTIM_FILE_ID\",\n \"type\": \"file\",\n \"name\": \"victim-private.txt\"\n }\n ],\n \"builtinTools\": {\n \"knowledge\": true\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\n3. Attacker chats with that model using native/built-in tools and invokes `view_file` for `VICTIM_FILE_ID`.\n4. The tool returns the victim file\u0027s extracted text content despite the attacker not owning or otherwise having access to the file.\n\n## Recommended Fix\n\nValidate `meta.knowledge` on every model write path: create, update, and import. For entries with `type == \"file\"`, require direct ownership, admin role, or `has_access_to_file(file_id, \u0027read\u0027, user, db=db)` before storing the entry. Validate the import payload before its surrounding try/except so a rejection surfaces as `403`, not `500`.\n\nDo not let `view_file()` treat `__model_knowledge__` as an authorization bypass; it should still enforce ownership/admin/`has_access_to_file()` per file ID. File deletion should require ownership, admin, or explicit write/delete access, not a read-derived model association.\n\n## Consolidation\n\nPer our Report Handling policy this consolidates independent reports of the same model `meta.knowledge` file-ID laundering flaw:\n\n- Read via forged `meta.knowledge` on model create, through the built-in `view_file` tool: @0xEr3n (earliest filing).\n- Distinct paths demonstrated by @5yu4n: the import endpoint (`POST /api/v1/models/import`), and cross-user read and deletion through the file API (`GET` / `DELETE /api/v1/files/{id}`) via `has_access_to_file()`\u0027s model branch.\n\nFix validates `meta.knowledge` ownership on create, update, and import; blocking the forged entry closes both read and delete. One CVE for the consolidated advisory.",

Mitigation
- Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) [REF-229] to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
- Note that this approach may not protect against horizontal authorization, i.e., it will not protect a user from attacking others with the same role.
Mitigation
Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records. For example, a database may restrict access for medical records to a specific database user, but each record might only be intended to be accessible to the patient and the patient's doctor [REF-7].
Mitigation MIT-4.4
Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks
- Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
- For example, consider using authorization frameworks such as the JAAS Authorization Framework [REF-233] and the OWASP ESAPI Access Control feature [REF-45].
Mitigation
- For web applications, make sure that the access control mechanism is enforced correctly at the server side on every page. Users should not be able to access any unauthorized functionality or information by simply requesting direct access to that page.
- One way to do this is to ensure that all pages containing sensitive information are not cached, and that all such pages restrict access to requests that are accompanied by an active and authenticated session token associated with a user who has the required permissions to access that page.
Mitigation
Use the access control capabilities of your operating system and server environment and define your access control lists accordingly. Use a "default deny" policy when defining these ACLs.
CAPEC-665: Exploitation of Thunderbolt Protection Flaws
An adversary leverages a firmware weakness within the Thunderbolt protocol, on a computing device to manipulate Thunderbolt controller firmware in order to exploit vulnerabilities in the implementation of authorization and verification schemes within Thunderbolt protection mechanisms. Upon gaining physical access to a target device, the adversary conducts high-level firmware manipulation of the victim Thunderbolt controller SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) flash, through the use of a SPI Programing device and an external Thunderbolt device, typically as the target device is booting up. If successful, this allows the adversary to modify memory, subvert authentication mechanisms, spoof identities and content, and extract data and memory from the target device. Currently 7 major vulnerabilities exist within Thunderbolt protocol with 9 attack vectors as noted in the Execution Flow.
