Open WebUI vulnerable to Path Traversal in `POST /api/v1/audio/transcriptions`

Published Mar 26, 2026 · Updated Mar 27, 2026 · Assigned by GitHub_M

Description

Open WebUI is a self-hosted artificial intelligence platform designed to operate entirely offline. Prior to version 0.8.6, an unsanitized filename field in the speech-to-text transcription endpoint allows any authenticated non-admin user to trigger a `FileNotFoundError` whose message — including the server's absolute `DATA_DIR` path — is returned verbatim in the HTTP 400 response body, confirming information disclosure on all default deployments. Version 0.8.6 patches the issue.
