Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

Open WebUI是Open WebUI开源的一个可扩展、功能丰富、用户友好的自托管 WebUI。 Open WebUI 0.9.0之前版本存在安全漏洞，该漏洞源于_validate_collection_access函数使用不完整的允许列表，仅对匹配user-memory-和file-模式的集合强制执行所有权检查，所有其他集合名称（包括系统级knowledge-bases元集合）未经检查通过，任何经过身份验证的用户可通过检索查询端点直接查询此元集合，获取实例上所有知识库的全局索引。

Vulnerability Title
Open WebUI: Global Knowledge Base Enumeration via knowledge-bases Meta-Collection
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
Open WebUI is a self-hosted artificial intelligence platform designed to operate entirely offline. Prior to 0.9.0, the _validate_collection_access function uses an incomplete allowlist that only enforces ownership checks for collections matching user-memory-* and file-* patterns. All other collection names pass through unchecked — including the system-level knowledge-bases meta-collection, which stores the IDs, names, and descriptions of every knowledge base on the instance. Any authenticated user can query this meta-collection directly via the retrieval query endpoints to obtain a global index of all knowledge bases across all users. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.9.0.
