CVE-2026-70491: Open WebUI: Tool source code disclosed to read-only users via the tool list and get endpoints
A workspace tool shared with a read grant returned its full Python source to the recipient. Any authenticated non-admin who could use a shared tool could also read its source, including any user on the instance when a tool was shared publicly. Source is meant to be a writer-only tier: the list response schema deliberately omits it and source export sits behind its own permission. The read endpoints delivered it anyway.
