CVE-2026-45399: Open WebUI: Low-privilege authenticated users can enumerate and stop global background tasks, causing system-wide chat disruption

May 14, 2026 (updated May 15, 2026)

Any authenticated user with low privileges can enumerate active background tasks across the system and stop tasks belonging to other users via the GET /api/tasks and POST /api/tasks/stop/{task_id} methods. This allows a casual user to disrupt system-wide chat usage by continuously canceling other users’ active tasks. This is a real authorization vulnerability affecting integrity and usability in multi-user deployments.
