CVE-2024-7806
CSRF in Openwebui Open Webui ≤ 0.3.8
Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HCVSS and EPSS are reproduced from their sources (NVD, FIRST EPSS). Risk Priority is our own derived reading, not an NVD score.
Summary
CVE-2024-7806 is a high-severity CSRF (CWE-352) vulnerability in Openwebui Open Webui. Its CVSS base score is 8.8 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 39th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and SC-23 (Session Authenticity) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2024-7806 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability, classified under CWE-352, affecting open-webui/open-webui versions up to and including 0.3.8. The issue stems from the application's use of authentication cookies with the SameSite attribute set to Lax, combined with the absence of CSRF tokens. This flaw enables remote code execution (RCE) when exploited, as demonstrated by its CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating high severity with network accessibility, low attack complexity, no required privileges, and user interaction needed for high impacts across confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability without authentication by crafting a malicious HTML page. When a victim user—potentially a non-admin—visits the attacker's page (for example, via a phishing link or malicious website), the browser automatically sends a CSRF request using the victim's session cookies. This request modifies the Python code of an existing pipeline within the application, allowing the execution of arbitrary code under the victim's privileges.
For mitigation details, refer to the primary advisory on the Huntr bounty page at https://huntr.com/bounties/9350a68d-5f33-4b3d-988b-81e778160ab8, which reported the issue. Security practitioners should upgrade to a patched version beyond 0.3.8 if available and implement CSRF protections such as tokens or stricter SameSite cookie policies in similar applications.

Vulnerability Data
A vulnerability in open-webui/open-webui versions <= 0.3.8 allows remote code execution by non-admin users via Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF). The application uses cookies with the SameSite attribute set to lax for authentication and lacks CSRF tokens. This allows an attacker…

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Access enforcement requires verifying that state-changing requests originate from the authenticated user rather than a forged cross-site source.
Protecting session authenticity prevents attackers from replaying or forging authenticated requests via the victim's browser.

By denying access to phishing or malicious sites, the control lowers the likelihood that a user will be tricked into submitting a forged request that performs an unintended action on another site.
