Open WebUI patches three terminal path and file-access security holes

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Open WebUI

Three merged commits close authorization and injection gaps in file access, proxy path decoding, and terminal WebSocket handling.

A file-access authorization fix [1] now confines object-derived write permissions to files the object owner actually owns. Previously, any user with write access to a knowledge base or workspace model could write or delete any file attached to it, even files they could only read.

Two terminal and proxy hardening fixes [2] [3] fail closed when decode caps are exceeded and encode the WebSocket session_id. The decode-until-stable loops now reject paths instead of forwarding still-encoded traversal sequences, and the session_id no longer allows injected query parameters to reach the upstream terminal server.

UI and store fixes [4] [5] improve code execution settings display and deduplicate frontend store fetches.
