How to fix it
Open WebUI is affected by CVE-2026-59215, a information disclosure risk. Open WebUI is an extensible, feature-rich, and user-friendly self-hosted AI platform. The recommended remediation is to update to Open WebUI 0.10.0 or later. Until the update is complete, restrict private and DM channel thread access and review cross-channel message references until patched, review logs, and reduce exposure of the affected service or workflow.
- Inventory every deployment, package, appliance, container, service, and managed environment that uses Open WebUI.
- Confirm the installed version and compare it with versions prior to 0 and the source advisory for CVE-2026-59215.
- Apply the vendor-supported fix: update to Open WebUI 0.10.0 or later.
- If the update cannot be applied immediately, restrict private and DM channel thread access and review cross-channel message references until patched; disable unnecessary public access, endpoints, integrations, uploads, management interfaces, or high-risk features until patched.
- Review application, device, reverse-proxy, WAF, package manager, container, authentication, and audit logs for activity related to CVE-2026-59215.
- Rotate sessions, API tokens, service credentials, integration keys, and administrator passwords if logs or affected data indicate compromise, code execution, credential exposure, or unauthorized access.
- Clear caches, restart affected services, rebuild affected containers or appliances when appropriate, and remove temporary files, stored payloads, generated artifacts, or unsafe configuration created during exploitation attempts.
