CVE-2026-70489: Open WebUI: Instance-wide stall via automation recurrence rules that force multi-second parsing
In every affected release, automation recurrence parsing anchors minutely and hourly rules at a fixed date of 2000-01-01 and then walks forward one interval at a time to find the next run. A single FREQ=MINUTELY rule therefore enumerates roughly a quarter-century of occurrences, synchronously, on the event loop that also serves the scheduler, HTTP and WebSocket traffic. Nothing bounds the walk, and nothing moves it off the loop.
