CVE-2026-45315: Open WebUI has stored XSS via attacker-controlled file extension in /api/v1/audio/transcriptions

May 14, 2026 (updated May 19, 2026)

The audio transcription upload endpoint takes the file extension from the user-supplied filename and saves the file under CACHE_DIR/audio/transcriptions/.. The /cache/{path} route serves these files via FileResponse, which sets Content-Type from the on-disk extension and emits no Content-Disposition. A verified user with the default-on chat.stt permission can upload a polyglot WAV+HTML file named pwn.html and trick any other user into opening the resulting URL — the response comes back as text/html and any embedded runs in the Open WebUI origin.
