CVE-2026-59221 PUBLISHED

open-webui terminal proxy path traversal guard bypass via 9x encoded traversal

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 02.07.2026 Published: 09.07.2026 Updated: 09.07.2026

Open WebUI is an extensible, feature-rich, and user-friendly self-hosted AI platform. From 0.9.6 before 0.10.0, _sanitize_proxy_path in backend/open_webui/routers/terminals.py decoded proxy paths only eight times, allowing a nine-times percent-encoded ../ traversal value to pass normalization checks and be decoded by the upstream terminal server. This issue is fixed in version 0.10.0.
