Open WebUI: Any authenticated user can suppress calendar alerts instance-wide via a non-numeric alert value
GitHub lists this reviewed advisory for open-webui. Published version ranges and source prerequisites are shown below; this is not an inspection of a visitor’s application.
This report has not inspected your inventory, configuration, deployed build, reachability or evidence. A catalog listing and a severity score do not establish exposure or compromise.

# Any authenticated user can suppress calendar alerts instance-wide via a non-numeric alert value ## Summary Calendar events carry a free-form `meta` object that is stored exactly as submitted, with no validation of the values inside it. The scheduler reads the per-event alert offset out of that object in a single pass that covers every user's upcoming events, and compares it numerically without checking that it is a number. Any verified user could store a text value there, which made the comparison raise and abort the whole pass, so no calendar reminder fired for anyone on the instance while that event stayed inside the lookahead window. ## Preconditions - Calendar is enabled (`ENABLE_CALENDAR` / `calendar.enable`, default `True`). - The attacker is a verified user (role `user` or `admin`) holding the `calendar` feature permission, which is granted to all users by default (`USER_PERMISSIONS_FEATURES_CALENDAR`, default `True`). - The event's start time falls inside the scheduler's one hour lookahead window, so the shared alert pass selects it. No admin access, no shared calendar, no recurrence rule and no open registration are required, an invited account is enough. Deployment
03 / Response
What to do next
- investigate
Identify the exact component and deployed version, examine the linked publisher’s conditions, and retain evidence of any mitigation.
Confirm current vendor support, compatibility and deployment evidence. This report has not tested a fix in your system. GitHub Advisory Database
A fixed release is not deployment evidence.
Check current vendor support and compatibility. After making a change, verify the deployed build and relevant runtime conditions. Keep the evidence, owner and time. An updated lockfile alone does not prove what is running.
04 / Limits
What this report cannot establish
- Customer inventory, deployment, reachability and exploitation have not been inspected.
05 / Provenance
Sources you can inspect
Each assertion retains its source. Mirrored records may repeat one underlying publisher; additional links are not independent corroboration.
