The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Thursday released details of a backdoor named BRICKSTORM that has been put to use by state-sponsored threat actors from the People's Republic of China (PRC) to maintain long-term persistence on compromised systems. "BRICKSTORM is a sophisticated backdoor for VMware vSphere and Windows environments," the agency said. "

## Summary A **Stored XSS vulnerability** has been discovered in Open-WebUI's Notes PDF download functionality. An attacker can import a Markdown file containing malicious SVG tags into Notes, allowing them to **execute arbitrary JavaScript code** and **steal session tokens** when a victim downloads the note as PDF. This vulnerability can be exploited by **any authenticated user**, and unauthenticated external attackers can steal session tokens from users (both admin and regular users) by sharing specially crafted markdown files. ## Details ### Vulnerability Location **File:** `src/lib/components/notes/utils.ts` **Function:** `downloadPdf()` **Vulnerable Code (Line 35):** ```typescript const contentNode = document.createElement('div'); contentNode.innerHTML = html; // Direct assignment without DOMPurify sanitization node.appendChild(contentNode); document.body.appendChild(node); ``` ### Root Cause 1. **Incomplete TipTap Editor Configuration** - Open-WebUI only uses ...

### Summary A Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in Open WebUI allows any authenticated user to force the server to make HTTP requests to arbitrary URLs. This can be exploited to access cloud metadata endpoints (AWS/GCP/Azure), scan internal networks, access internal services behind firewalls, and exfiltrate sensitive information. No special permissions beyond basic authentication are required. ### Details The vulnerability exists in the /api/v1/retrieval/process/web endpoint located in backend/open_webui/routers/retrieval.py at lines 1758-1767. Vulnerable code: @router.post("/process/web") def process_web( request: Request, form_data: ProcessUrlForm, user=Depends(get_verified_user) ): try: collection_name = form_data.collection_name if not collection_name: collection_name = calculate_sha256_string(form_data.url)[:63] content, docs = get_content_from_url(request, form_data.url) # ← SSRF vulnerability Th...

A denial-of-service vulnerability exists in github.com/sirupsen/logrus when using Entry.Writer() to log a single-line payload larger than 64KB without newline characters. Due to limitations in the internal bufio.Scanner, the read fails with "token too long" and the writer pipe is closed, leaving Writer() unusable and causing application unavailability (DoS). This affects versions < 1.8.3, 1.9.0, and 1.9.2. The issue is fixed in 1.8.3, 1.9.1, and 1.9.3+, where the input is chunked and the writer continues to function even if an error is logged.

Critical XXE in Apache Tika tika-core (1.13-3.2.1), tika-pdf-module (2.0.0-3.2.1) and tika-parsers (1.13-1.28.5) modules on all platforms allows an attacker to carry out XML External Entity injection via a crafted XFA file inside of a PDF. This CVE covers the same vulnerability as in CVE-2025-54988. However, this CVE expands the scope of affected packages in two ways. First, while the entrypoint for the vulnerability was the tika-parser-pdf-module as reported in CVE-2025-54988, the vulnerability and its fix were in tika-core. Users who upgraded the tika-parser-pdf-module but did not upgrade tika-core to >= 3.2.2 would still be vulnerable. Second, the original report failed to mention that in the 1.x Tika releases, the PDFParser was in the "org.apache.tika:tika-parsers" module.

open-webui v0.6.33 is vulnerable to Incorrect Access Control. The API /api/tasks/stop/ directly accesses and cancels tasks without verifying user ownership, enabling attackers (a normal user) to stop arbitrary LLM response tasks.

Directory Traversal vulnerability in ComposioHQ v.0.7.20 allows a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information via the _download_file_or_dir function.
