Open WebUI: Blind server side request forgery (SSRF) via the PDF generate function
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 21/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.25% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: open-webui open-webui 0.5.11.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to open-webui open-webui 0.5.11 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
Open WebUI is a self-hosted artificial intelligence platform designed to operate entirely offline. Prior to 0.5.11, there is a blind server side request forgery (SSRF) via the PDF generate function. In the PDF export, user inputs are interpreted as HTML and embedded into the PDF. According to tests, scripts and some potentially dangerous tags (iFrame, Object, etc.) are blocked, preventing server-side content from being read through this vulnerability. However, an image tag can be used to force a server-side request (SSRF), as shown in the following below. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.5.11.
