What is CVE-2026-54015?

CVE-2026-54015 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, Open WebUI's prompt version-history endpoints authorize the prompt_id in the URL but then act on caller-supplied history IDs without verifying that the history row belongs to that prompt (history_entry.prompt_id == prompt.id). This affects /api/v1/prompts/id/{prompt_id}/history/diff, /api/v1/prompts/id/{prompt_id}/update/version, and /api/v1/prompts/id/{prompt_id}/history/{history_id}. An authenticated user with access to any prompt they control, plus a victim prompt_history.id, can read or delete another user's private prompt history. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.9.6.

Weakness: CWE-639, CWE-284
