## What is CVE-2026-54006?

CVE-2026-54006 is a medium-severity missing authorization vulnerability in Openwebui Open Webui, published on 23 Jun 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

Open WebUI is a self-hosted artificial intelligence platform designed to operate entirely offline. Prior to 0.9.6, POST /api/v1/calendars/events/{event_id}/update validates that the caller has write access to the calendar the event currently belongs to, but does not validate the destination calendar_id supplied in the request body. The model layer then persists the new calendar_id unconditionally. A regular user-role account can therefore create an event in their own calendar and immediately move it into any other user's calendar whose ID they know — bypassing the authorization check that create_event correctly performs.  This vulnerability is fixed in 0.9.6.

Weakness: CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key)
