Session Fixation Vulnerability in Open-WebUI by Open-WebUI

CVE-2024-7053

What is CVE-2024-7053?

A vulnerability in Open-WebUI version 0.3.8 allows an attacker with user-level access to execute a session fixation attack. The default setting of the session cookie lacks the Secure flag and is configured with SameSite=Lax, enabling the cookie to be sent over HTTP to a different domain. By inserting a malicious markdown image in a chat, an attacker may target an administrator; when viewed, the administrator's session cookie is transmitted to the attacker's server. This vulnerability presents a significant risk as it may lead to unauthorized access to an admin account and could ultimately allow for remote code execution due to the privileged access of administrative roles.
