CVE-2026-109293: Open WebUI tool source code disclosure via export endpoint

CVE-2026-109293 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.5 · Published 2026-10-12

Open WebUI is a web interface for AI models that allows administrators to create and share reusable tools with team members. An authenticated user with tool export permissions can retrieve the full Python source code of any tool shared with them for read-only access, exposing embedded API keys, credentials, and internal service URLs that the tools contain. This affects deployments where non-admins have been granted export permissions and tools containing secrets have been shared with read-only access.

Technologies: Open WebUI. Vendors: Open WebUI.

How to fix

Fixed in: 0.11.4

Do not grant the tool export permission (workspace.tools_export) to non-admin users, or ensure tools containing credentials are only shared with users who already hold write access to them.

Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the GET /api/v1/tools/export endpoint (backend/open_webui/routers/tools.py), which builds its list of tools using the default read scope rather than restricting to owned or write-accessible tools. While the tool detail view correctly hides source code from read-only recipients, the bulk export endpoint returns it anyway, allowing any authenticated user with workspace.tools_export permission to retrieve source code they should not access. This is a confidentiality issue only; attackers cannot modify tools or gain execution rights, but the exposure of embedded credentials is critical.
