CVE-2026-87999: Open WebUI: Any authenticated user can reach the Azure platform channel via server-side web fetch
Open WebUI fetches user-supplied URLs on the server for RAG URL ingestion and web search, and screens the resolved addresses so internal destinations cannot be reached. That screen decided whether a destination was external by asking Python’s standard library whether the address is globally routable. Several addresses reserved for internal use answer yes to that question, including 168.63.129.16, the Azure platform channel every Azure virtual machine can reach. Any authenticated user could therefore make the server issue requests to those addresses and read the responses back through the API.
