Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Open WebUI Cleartext Transmission of Credentials Information Disclosure Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of Open WebUI. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the handling of credentials provided to the endpoint. The issue results from transmitting sensitive information in plaintext. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to disclose transmitted credentials, leading to further compromise. Was ZDI-CAN-28259.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Open WebUI transmits user credentials in plaintext when authenticating to certain endpoints. An unauthenticated attacker on the adjacent network can intercept these credentials by sniffing network traffic, potentially gaining unauthorized access to the application and further compromising user accounts.

MitigationEnable TLS/SSL encryption for all network communications, particularly on authentication endpoints. Configure proper HTTPS with valid certificates and enforce secure transport.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Check installed Open WebUI version
    Run the command to display the installed version of Open WebUI (e.g., check the Docker image tag, Helm chart version, or application UI footer/splash screen)
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 0.6.32
  2. Verify HTTPS is enabled on the server
    Inspect the server configuration files or environment variables to confirm SSL/TLS is configured. For Docker deployments, check for the --tls-cert and --tls-key flags or equivalent configuration. Look for the presence of an SSL certificate file and private key on the server.
    Affected if HTTPS/TLS is not enabled or SSL certificates are not configured
  3. Confirm authentication endpoints use HTTPS
    Review the web server or reverse proxy configuration (e.g., nginx, Apache, or built-in server) to ensure all authentication-related endpoints (login, session token exchange) are routed through HTTPS. Check for HTTP to HTTPS redirects on auth routes.
    Affected if Authentication endpoints are accessible over HTTP or redirect to HTTP instead of enforcing HTTPS
  4. Inspect network traffic configuration
    Check if the web server or application is configured to enforce TLS 1.2 or higher and disable insecure cipher suites. Look for configuration parameters related to secure transport in the server settings.
    Affected if TLS enforcement is disabled or weak cipher suites are allowed

A user is affected if they are running Open WebUI version 0.6.32 AND the authentication endpoints are not properly configured to use HTTPS/TLS encryption.
