HIGH 8.8UPGRADE

CVE-2026-45672 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 8.8) affecting open webui. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

Open WebUI is a self-hosted artificial intelligence platform designed to operate entirely offline. Prior to 0.8.12, the /api/v1/utils/code/execute endpoint executes arbitrary Python code via Jupyter for any verified user, even when the admin has set ENABLE_CODE_EXECUTION=false. The feature gate is not enforced on the API endpoint — the configuration says "disabled" but code still executes. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.8.12.
