Machine-written summary

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

GHSA-jqhh-cjmq-vmv6: Open WebUI versions from 0.5.0 up to but not including 0.11.1 are affected. Any authenticated user with the default user role can store a chat whose messages reference each other as parents in a cycle, which makes the server's history walk run forever and blocks all requests server-wide. Upgrade to Open WebUI 0.11.1, which fixes the issue; no workaround is given.
