Open WebUI Cache Misconfiguration: Cross-User Model-List Exposure

EARLY WARNING · UNCONFIRMED. This page describes a developing threat that 0Day surfaced from early signals and has not yet independently confirmed. Details may change. Always verify against the primary sources before acting.
GHSA-3WP3-XXJ9-5JQQSeverity: HIGH

An apparent misconfiguration in the caching logic of Open WebUI's `get_all_models` handlers may result in cross-user exposure of permission-filtered model lists.

What happened

Reportedly, the `@cached` decorator in `routers/openai.py` and `routers/ollama.py` was incorrectly set up, leading to a shared cache entry for all users instead of per-user caching. This misconfiguration is under investigation for potentially serving one user's permission-filtered model list to another authenticated user.

Professionals using Open WebUI are advised to review and update the caching logic in the affected files to ensure proper per-user caching. The primary source should be consulted for detailed technical information and recommended actions.
