urllib.parse.urlparse and requests/aiohttp disagree on how to split URLs
containing backslash, tab, CR, or LF in or around the netloc. urlparse
treats backslash as part of userinfo and uses what follows '@' as the
host; requests treats backslash as the start of the path and connects
to whatever precedes it. The same URL therefore passes the private-IP
filter (urlparse sees a public host) but reaches an internal target
(requests connects to e.g. 127.0.0.1). End result is an SSRF that the
existing IP block list cannot catch because it's evaluating the wrong
host.
PoC: http://127.0.0.1:6666\@1.1.1.1 — urlparse hostname is 1.1.1.1
(global, passes), requests reaches 127.0.0.1 (loopback).
Reject up front any URL containing one of the four documented parser-
confusing characters before either parser gets a chance to interpret
it. None of these characters is valid in an unencoded URL (\ should
always be %5C, whitespace should be %09 / %0A / %0D), so this is a
pure defensive rejection with no legitimate-input false positives.

validate_url() in retrieval/web/utils.py only validates the initial URL.
The HTTP clients used downstream (sync requests, sync requests via the
parent WebBaseLoader._scrape, aiohttp via load_url_image) followed 3xx
redirects by default and did not re-validate the redirect target against
the private-IP / metadata-IP block list. An authenticated user could
submit a public URL that 302-redirected to an internal address (RFC1918,
127.0.0.1, 169.254.169.254, etc.) and the redirected response was returned
to them, enabling SSRF reads of internal services and cloud metadata.
Three call sites needed allow_redirects=False to match the policy already
enforced on the async _fetch() path:
- SafeWebBaseLoader: override requests_kwargs in __init__ so that the
inherited synchronous _scrape() path passes allow_redirects=False to
self.session.get() (the parent WebBaseLoader uses requests' default
allow_redirects=True).
- get_content_from_url (retrieval/utils.py): pass allow_redirects=False
on the streamed requests.get(...) call.
- load_url_image (routers/images.py, image-edits endpoint): pass
allow_redirects=False on the aiohttp session.get(...) call.
Reports consolidated under GHSA-rh5x-h6pp-cjj6:
- GHSA-rh5x-h6pp-cjj6 (tenbbughunters / Tenable) - sync _scrape
- GHSA-5vxg-6gmv-m2qr (YLChen-007) - load_url_image
- GHSA-hf76-c83f-63w2 (tempcollab) - aiohttp _fetch (already fixed)
- GHSA-h55f-h5fh-mvm4 (sneaXOR) - get_content_from_url
The validators.ipv6(ip, private=True) call always returns a falsy ValidationError because validators==0.35.0 does not support the private kwarg for IPv6. This means any hostname resolving to a private IPv6 address (::1, fd00::*, ::ffff:169.254.169.254) bypasses SSRF protection entirely, circumventing the fix for CVE-2025-65958.
Replace both the IPv4 and IPv6 validators-based private checks with Python's stdlib ipaddress module using an allowlist approach (not addr.is_global). This blocks all non-globally-routable addresses — private, loopback, link-local, reserved, multicast, and unspecified — for both IPv4 and IPv6, including IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses.
Fix for Playwright Timeout (ms) interpreted as seconds.
To address https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/16801
In Frontend Playwright Timeout is setted as (ms), but in backend is interpreted as (s) doing a time conversion for playwright_timeout var (that have to be in ms).
& as _Originally posted by @rawbby in [#16801](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/16801#issuecomment-3216782565)_
> I personally think milliseconds are a reasonable choice for the timeout. Maybe the conversion should be fixed, not the label.
> This would further not break existing configurations from users that rely on their current config.
