CVE-2026-87017: Open WebUI: Inaccessible knowledge bases are exposed through the built-in knowledge tool on most vector backends

September 10, 2026

The built-in knowledge search tool returns knowledge bases the calling user has no access to. The tool works out which knowledge bases the caller may read and hands that set to the vector store as a search filter, and that filter is the only access control on the path. Most of the shipped vector backends accept the filter argument on their search method and never apply it, so the search returns matches from every knowledge base in the shared collection. The sibling query method on those same backends does apply a filter, which is why the omission is invisible from the calling code.
