Affected is an unknown part of the file /api/v1/channels/{channel_id}/messages/{message_id}/update of the component Message Handler.

The product does not perform an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action. This is going to have an impact on integrity. CVE summarizes:

Open WebUI is a self-hosted artificial intelligence platform designed to operate entirely offline. Prior to 0.8.6, in standard channels (i.e., channels whose channel.type is neither group nor dm), the endpoint POST /api/v1/channels/{channel_id}/messages/{message_id}/update can be accessed with read permission only. When access_control is set to None, the authorization check has_access(..., type="read") evaluates to True, allowing users who are not the message owner to update messages. As a result, unauthorized modification of other users’ messages is possible. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.8.6.
