CVE-2026-56398 PUBLISHED

Open WebUI - Stored Cross-Site Scripting via OAuth Picture Claim SVG Data URI

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 21.06.2026 Published: 15.07.2026 Updated: 15.07.2026

Open WebUI before 0.9.5 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the OAuth authentication flow where the picture claim URL MIME type is inferred from file extension rather than Content-Type header, allowing SVG files to bypass the profile image validator and be stored as data URIs. Authenticated users who visit the profile image endpoint receive attacker-controlled SVG content with inline disposition and no default security headers, enabling script execution in the same origin to steal authentication tokens and achieve account takeover.
