NVD description
Open WebUI is an extensible, feature-rich, and user-friendly self-hosted AI platform. In 0.10.2 and earlier, the GET /api/v1/tools/, GET /api/v1/tools/list, and GET /api/v1/tools/id/{id} endpoints in backend/open_webui/routers/tools.py returned full Python tool source to authenticated non-admin read-only users. ToolResponse deliberately omitted source and specs, but ToolUserResponse permitted extra fields and handlers spread a full tool model dump into the response, re-admitting omitted fields. A non-admin with a read grant can obtain another user's server-side tool source, which commonly embeds hard-coded API keys, credentials, and internal service URLs. This issue is fixed in 0.11.0.
