Open WebUI Vulnerability: Authenticated Users Can Access Azure Services
- Severity
- HIGH
- Affected component
- open webui (pypi)
- Patched version
- Not yet available
An early warning has been issued for a vulnerability in Open WebUI that allows authenticated users to reach Azure services via server-side web fetch. This issue is under investigation.
What happened
Open WebUI reportedly fetches user-supplied URLs on the server for RAG URL ingestion and web search. This allows authenticated users to issue requests to internal Azure addresses, potentially leading to unauthorized access to internal services. The vulnerability, tracked as GHSA-34R3-9M95-VQ73, was first flagged on 2026-09-10T15:09:36+00:00. It is classified as high severity.
The vulnerability has not been exploited in the wild as of the latest reports. It is recommended to upgrade to a version where the `WEB_FETCH_FILTER_LIST` is configured to block internal addresses or set `ENABLE_LOCAL_WEB_FETCH` to `false`.
What to do about it
- Check if your Open WebUI deployment is using a version affected by GHSA-34R3-9M95-VQ73.
- Configure the `WEB_FETCH_FILTER_LIST` to block internal Azure addresses.
- Set `ENABLE_LOCAL_WEB_FETCH` to `false` to prevent server-side web fetches.
- Monitor the primary sources for updates on this vulnerability.
