CVE-2026-70490: Open WebUI: Unapproved accounts can open terminal sessions via a WebSocket auth path missing the role check

August 4, 2026

The terminal WebSocket route authenticates its own first-message JWT instead of going through the HTTP dependency chain, and never applies the role check that get_verified_user enforces on every HTTP terminal route. An account whose role is pending, meaning registered but not approved, or approved and later deactivated back to pending, can therefore open an interactive terminal session that the HTTP terminal endpoints would refuse. The missing control is the verified-user role gate, not the terminal access grants, which are evaluated correctly.
