CVE-2026-109288
HIGH 7.2Open WebUI before 0.11.4 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in MarkdownInlineTokens.svelte, which renders markdown link URLs into anchor hrefs without validating their scheme. Authenticated users can embed javascript: links in shared chats that, when clicked by a victim, steal the victim's JWT from local storage, including admins' tokens.
Severe if exploited (CVSS 7.2), but no known exploitation and low modeled probability. Patch on a normal cadence.
