open-webui versions 0.7.0 through 0.11.0 let an authenticated user see the names and descriptions of knowledge bases never shared with them, through the built-in knowledge search tool. Only deployments using one of eleven external vector backends are affected, not the default Chroma, and document text is not exposed. Upgrade to 0.11.1.
