Machine-written summary

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

Open WebUI versions 0.10.0 up to but not including 0.11.1 are vulnerable. Any authenticated user with the folders feature permission (enabled by default) can re-parent a folder under itself, creating a loop that makes a single request never finish, consuming a CPU core and growing memory until restart. Upgrade to Open WebUI 0.11.1, which rejects such moves and skips already-visited folders.
