Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Open WebUI versions 0.6.41 up to but not including 0.11.1 are vulnerable on SQLite deployments, where OAuth/OIDC external identity lookup and SCIM external-ID resolution use substring matching instead of exact matching. An attacker who can set the subject claim at the identity provider (only when the operator has configured a user-settable claim) can sign in as another account, including an administrator; otherwise, subject values containing underscores can resolve to the wrong account. Upgrade to Open WebUI 0.11.1, which fixes the issue with no configuration change required.
