Open WebUI vulnerable to Path Traversal in `POST /api/v1/audio/transcriptions`
CVE-2026-28786
Description
Open WebUI is a self-hosted artificial intelligence platform designed to operate entirely offline. Prior to version 0.8.6, an unsanitized filename field in the speech-to-text transcription endpoint allows any authenticated non-admin user to trigger a FileNotFoundError whose message — including the server's absolute DATA_DIR path — is returned verbatim in the HTTP 400 response body, confirming information disclosure on all default deployments. Version 0.8.6 patches the issue.
