Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Open WebUI versions 0.9.0 up to but not including 0.11.0 are affected. An authenticated user with access to a terminal server configured by an admin can get a previewed HTML file to run script in the Open WebUI origin, which lets them read the victim's session token and take over the account. The victim only needs to have the chat open, and the attacker must still get the malicious file written and displayed. Upgrade to Open WebUI 0.11.0 or later, where the preview no longer grants same-origin access by default.
