### Summary Open WebUI v0.6.33 and below contains a code injection vulnerability in the Direct Connections feature that allows malicious external model servers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in victim browsers via Server-Sent Event (SSE) `execute` events. This leads to authentication token theft, complete account takeover, and when chained with the Functions API, enables remote code execution on the backend server. The attack requires the victim to enable Direct Connections (disabled by default) and add the attacker's malicious model URL, achievable through social engineering of the admin and subsequent users. ### Details ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS: Open WebUI's Direct Connections feature allows users to add external OpenAI-compatible model servers without proper validation of the Server-Sent Events (SSE) these servers emit. VULNERABLE COMPONENT: Frontend SSE Event Handler The frontend JavaScript code processes SSE events from external servers and specifically handles an `execute` eve...

A China-linked threat actor has been attributed to a cyber attack targeting an U.S. non-profit organization with an aim to establish long-term persistence, as part of broader activity aimed at U.S. entities that are linked to or involved in policy issues. The organization, according to a report from Broadcom's Symantec and Carbon Black teams, is "active in attempting to influence U.S. government

Cybersecurity firm Sekoia reports a widespread fraud where criminals compromise hotel systems (Booking.com, Expedia and others) with PureRAT malware, then use stolen reservation data to phish and defraud guests.

### Summary The functionality that inserts custom prompts into the chat window is vulnerable to DOM XSS when 'Insert Prompt as Rich Text' is enabled, since the prompt body is assigned to the DOM sink `.innerHtml` without sanitisation. Any user with permissions to create prompts can abuse this to plant a payload that could be triggered by other users if they run the corresponding `/` command to insert the prompt. ### Details The affected line is https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/blob/7a83e7dfa367d19f762ec17cac5e4a94ea2bd97d/src/lib/components/common/RichTextInput.svelte#L348 ```js export const replaceCommandWithText = async (text) => { const { state, dispatch } = editor.view; const { selection } = state; const pos = selection.from; // Get the plain text of this document // const docText = state.doc.textBetween(0, state.doc.content.size, '\n', '\n'); // Find the word boundaries at cursor const { start, end } = getWordBoundsAtPos(state.doc, pos); let tr = sta...

Imagine this: Sarah from accounting gets what looks like a routine password reset email from your organization’s cloud provider. She clicks the link, types in her credentials, and goes back to her spreadsheet. But unknown to her, she’s just made a big mistake. Sarah just accidentally handed over her login details to cybercriminals who are laughing all the way to their dark web

### Impact In several places where the user can insert data (e.g. names), ANSI escape sequences are not being removed, which can then be used, for example, to show fake alerts. In the same token, git messages, when printed, are also not being sanitized. Places in which this was found: 1. Repository Description (pkg/backend/repo.go - SetDescription) 2. Repository Project Name (pkg/backend/repo.go - SetProjectName) 3. Git Commit Author Names (pkg/ssh/cmd/commit.go:69) 4. Git Commit Messages (pkg/ssh/cmd/commit.go:71) 5. Access Token Names (pkg/ssh/cmd/token.go:107) 6. Webhook URLs (pkg/ssh/cmd/webhooks.go:72) ### Patches v0.11.0 ### Workarounds No. ### References n/a

### Summary _Short summary of the problem. Make the impact and severity as clear as possible. A flawed implementation of the Kubernetes aggregation layer's authentication flow could enable bypassing RBAC controls. ### Details _Give all details on the vulnerability. Pointing to the incriminated source code is very helpful for the maintainer._ It was discovered that the `virt-api` component fails to correctly authenticate the client when receiving API requests over mTLS. In particular, it fails to validate the CN (Common Name) field in the received client TLS certificates against the set of allowed values defined in the `extension-apiserver-authentication` configmap. The Kubernetes API server proxies received client requests through a component called aggregator (part of K8S's API server), and authenticates to the `virt-api` server using a certificate signed by the CA specified via the `--requestheader-client-ca-file` CLI flag. This CA bundle is primarily used in the context of aggr...

### Impact A bug was found in containerd's CRI Attach implementation where a user can exhaust memory on the host due to goroutine leaks. Repetitive calls of CRI Attach (e.g., [`kubectl attach`](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubectl/generated/kubectl_attach/)) could increase the memory usage of containerd. ### Patches This bug has been fixed in the following containerd versions: * 2.2.0 * 2.1.5 * 2.0.7 * 1.7.29 Users should update to these versions to resolve the issue. ### Workarounds Set up an admission controller to control accesses to `pods/attach` resources. e.g., [Validating Admission Policy](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/validating-admission-policy/). ### Credits The containerd project would like to thank @Wheat2018 for responsibly disclosing this issue in accordance with the [containerd security policy](https://github.com/containerd/project/blob/main/SECURITY.md). ### References https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2025...
