CVE-2026-70486: Open WebUI: Same-origin XSS to account takeover via terminal file-preview iframe hardcoding allow-same-origin

August 4, 2026

Any authenticated user with access to a terminal server could get script of their choosing to run in the Open WebUI origin itself. The HTML file preview rendered terminal-served files in an iframe whose sandbox always granted allow-same-origin alongside allow-scripts, and the file is served from a path on the application’s own origin, so the sandbox provided no isolation at all. Script in a previewed file could read the victim’s session token and take over the account.
