CVE-2026-87011 PUBLISHED

Open WebUI: Unauthenticated requests can stall the server via uncached OIDC fetches in back-channel logout

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 08.09.2026 Published: 09.09.2026 Updated: 09.09.2026

Open WebUI is an extensible, feature-rich, and user-friendly self-hosted AI platform. From 0.9.0 until 0.11.1, the unauthenticated POST /oauth/backchannel-logout handler in backend/open_webui/utils/oauth.py fetched the OIDC discovery document and signing keys before validating a submitted logout token. Each request repeated uncached network fetches, and the signing-key lookup blocked the async event loop, so requests carrying invalid tokens could stall the single-worker instance and amplify traffic to the identity provider when ENABLE_OAUTH_BACKCHANNEL_LOGOUT was enabled. This issue is fixed in version 0.11.1.
