Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

pip show open-webui

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2024-7959, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show open-webui

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Withdrawn Advisory in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than the patched release), your application is affected.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-918: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF), where the web server receives a url or similar request from an upstream component and retrieves the contents of this url, but it does not sufficiently ensure that the request is being sent to the expected destination. In Withdrawn Advisory, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Withdrawn Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it does not describe a valid vulnerability. This link is maintained to preserve external references. ### Original Description The `/openai/models` endpoint in open-webui/open-webui version 0.3.8 is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF). An attacker can change the OpenAI URL to any URL without checks, causing the endpoint to send a request to the specified URL and return the output. This vulnerability allows the attacker to access internal services and potentially gain command execution by accessing instance secrets.
