CVE-2026-59220

Open WebUI is an extensible, feature-rich, and user-friendly self-hosted AI platform. From 0.9.2 before 0.10.0, the SKILL_MENTION_RE and strip_re regular expressions in backend/open_webui/utils/middleware.py parsed skill mentions with overlapping quantifiers, allowing an authenticated chat message containing to trigger quadratic backtracking and block the asyncio event loop. This issue is fixed in version 0.10.0.
