GHSA-3wgj-c2hg-vm6q: Open WebUI vulnerable to stored XSS via OAuth picture claim stored as SVG data URI in profile_image_url
When a user signs in via OAuth, Open WebUI fetches the picture claim URL, infers a MIME type from the URL extension via mimetypes.guess_type, and stores data:<mime>;base64,... as the user’s profile image. The OAuth code path does not go through the validate_profile_image_url Pydantic validator that normally restricts profile images to PNG/JPEG/GIF/WebP. A .svg URL in the picture claim lands in the database as data:image/svg+xml;base64,....
The profile image endpoint GET /api/v1/users/{id}/profile/image returns the stored data URI with the attacker-controlled MIME type as Content-Type and Content-Disposition: inline. Security headers (CSP, X-Content-Type-Options) are env-gated and not set by default. An authenticated user navigating directly to that URL gets the SVG as a top-level document, executing <script>/onload in the same origin and able to read localStorage.token → account takeover.
Same class of trust-boundary error as CVE-2025-64496 (trust of untrusted model servers) and CVE-2025-64495 (rich-text XSS). Different sink, different code path.
