AI risk analysis

Summary
The vulnerability allows an attacker to exchange an OAuth access token for a session token, potentially gaining unauthorized access to the platform.
Exploitability
Exploitation requires access to a valid OAuth access token from a registered client, making it moderately difficult. Precondition is that the OAuth token exchange feature is enabled.
Blast radius
If exploited, the attacker could gain full access to the platform as the token user, leading to potential data breaches or unauthorized actions.
Detection
No reliable host or network indicator is derivable from the published description.
Prioritized remediation
Disable the OAuth token exchange feature or upgrade to version 0.11.0 or later.

NVD description

Open WebUI is an extensible, feature-rich, and user-friendly self-hosted AI platform. From 0.8.0 until 0.11.0, when ENABLE_OAUTH_TOKEN_EXCHANGE=True, /oauth/{provider}/token/exchange accepts a raw provider access token and validates it by calling the provider userinfo endpoint without confirming which OAuth client the token was issued to. Anyone holding an access token minted for any client registered with the same provider could exchange it for an Open WebUI session as that token user, including applications the operator does not control and has never authorized. This issue is fixed in 0.11.0.
