CVE-2026-45318: Open WebUI has stored XSS via unsanitized Office/Excel/DOCX file preview rendering ({@html} without DOMPurify)

May 14, 2026 (updated May 19, 2026)

Open WebUI renders user-uploaded Office files (Excel, DOCX) as HTML using Svelte’s {@html} directive without DOMPurify sanitization. While the codebase has DOMPurify available and uses it in 9 out of 23 {@html} locations (39%), three file-preview rendering paths bypass it entirely, allowing Stored XSS when a user uploads a malicious document.

This is a classic defense propagation failure: the sanitization primitive exists in the codebase but is not consistently applied to all rendering surfaces.
