Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Open WebUI versions 0.9.6 up to but not including 0.11.1 are vulnerable when the Playwright web loader is enabled (WEB_LOADER_ENGINE=playwright). An authenticated user who can submit URLs for ingestion or web search can use DNS rebinding to make the browser fetch internal addresses that the server's check was meant to block, such as cloud metadata or loopback-only services, and read the responses. Upgrade to Open WebUI 0.11.1, which fixes the issue with no configuration change needed. Deployments using the default web loader are not affected.
