Description
Open WebUI from 0.11.0 before 0.11.4 contains a regular expression denial of service vulnerability that allows authenticated users to stall server workers via file search patterns. Attackers can instruct the model to call grep_knowledge_files or grep_chat_files with a catastrophically backtracking regex, blocking the event loop for two seconds per repeated call.
