Machine-written summary

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

Open WebUI (PyPI package open-webui) versions before 0.9.5 are vulnerable to a server-side request forgery bypass in the validate_url function. The URL validation reads the hostname with urlparse, while the requests library that sends the request resolves a crafted URL to a different, internal host, so an authenticated user could make the server request internal addresses. Upgrade to version 0.9.5 or later, which contains the fix.
