validate_url() calls socket.getaddrinfo() for SSRF protection, which
blocks the event loop for 100-700ms per DNS lookup. This affects:
- Image generation (get_image_data) — every external image URL
- Image editing (load_url_image) — every external image URL
- OAuth profile pictures (_process_picture_url) — every login
- Webhook delivery (post_webhook) — every notification
- Image base64 conversion (get_image_base64_from_url) — chat images
Wrap all 5 async call sites in asyncio.to_thread() so DNS resolution
runs in the thread pool. The event loop remains free to serve other
requests during the lookup.
Benchmark (3 domains, 3 trials averaged):
- BEFORE: max jitter 479ms, 1 blocked ping per trial
- AFTER: max jitter 1ms, 0 blocked pings (324x improvement)

The Azure TTS handler (_tts_azure) interpolated the user-supplied voice,
and the locale derived from it, into the SSML xml:lang and <voice name>
attributes without XML-escaping, while the text body was already escaped
(2e75c6dbd). Escape both attributes too, so every user-derived value in
the SSML document is consistently encoded.

Replace per-message database queries with batch IN-clause queries in
channel message handlers. This eliminates the N+1 query pattern that
caused ~102 queries per channel page load (50 messages × 2 queries each).
Changes:
- Add get_reactions_by_message_ids() to MessageTable: single query
fetches all reactions for multiple messages using IN clause with
User JOIN, returns dict[message_id, list[Reactions]]
- Add get_thread_reply_counts_by_message_ids() to MessageTable: single
GROUP BY aggregate query returns (count, max_created_at) per parent,
replacing full object loads just to call len()
- Refactor get_channel_messages(): 102 → 4 queries per page
- Refactor get_pinned_channel_messages(): 22 → 3 queries per page
- Refactor get_channel_thread_messages(): 53 → 4 queries per page
- Refactor send_notification(): N+1 membership check → batch set lookup
pydub imports the stdlib `audioop`, removed in Python 3.13, so audio
preprocessing would break there. requires-python is already capped at
< 3.13; this one-line pointer flags what to handle (audioop-lts, or drop
pydub) before raising that cap.
The direct image-edit route was the only image-edit surface with no authorization: it ran
on get_verified_user alone, while POST /generations enforces ENABLE_IMAGE_GENERATION +
features.image_generation and the built-in edit_image tool enforces ENABLE_IMAGE_EDIT +
features.image_generation. A verified non-admin user could therefore reach the configured
image-edit provider (spending IMAGES_EDIT_OPENAI_API_KEY) even when the administrator had
globally disabled image editing (ENABLE_IMAGE_EDIT=False) or denied the user image
generation.
Split the route from the shared impl (mirroring generate_images/image_generations): the new
/edit wrapper enforces ENABLE_IMAGE_EDIT and the per-user image-generation permission, then
delegates to image_edits(). The internal callers (the edit_image tool and the chat
middleware) already gate themselves and call image_edits() directly, so they are unaffected.

Adds a 'Reset to Defaults' button to both the Edit Default Permissions
modal and the Edit User Group permissions modal.
- Default permissions modal: resets to stock/env-var configuration
- User group modal: resets to current global default permissions
Backend: new GET /api/v1/users/default/permissions/defaults endpoint
that returns DEFAULT_USER_PERMISSIONS (env-var-based initial defaults).
ws_terminal() interpolated the path parameter session_id directly into the upstream
terminal WebSocket URL and then appended ?user_id=<caller>, with no encoding or
validation (the HTTP sibling proxy_terminal runs _sanitize_proxy_path; this path ran
nothing). An encoded '?'/'&' smuggled through session_id survives Open WebUI's single
decode and is re-decoded by the upstream, injecting an attacker-chosen user_id ahead
of the appended one. Query parsing binds the first occurrence, so the orchestrator
resolves the spoofed user's terminal scope, letting a normal authenticated user
present another user's identity to the upstream (CWE-116/863).
Encode session_id as an opaque path segment with urllib.parse.quote(session_id,
safe=''). This neutralises '?'/'#'/'&' at any decode depth (the upstream's single
decode reverses only the quote, leaving the original delimiters inert as path
content), while legitimate UUID session ids pass through unchanged. The appended
user_id is then the only query parameter the upstream binds.
The separate concern that the forwarded identity is a bearer claim with no integrity
binding spans Open WebUI and the upstream terminal server and is not addressed here.

The SCIM update_user (PUT) and patch_user (PATCH) handlers mapped the SCIM active field
unconditionally onto the role column (role = 'user' if active else 'pending'), so a routine
IdP sync or a misconfigured IdP that marked a locally-provisioned admin inactive would
silently strip that admin's role and could lock an instance out of its own administration.
Gate both active->role assignments on user.role != 'admin' so SCIM provisioning can
activate/deactivate ordinary users but never demotes an existing admin; admin role changes
continue to go through the dedicated admin endpoints. SCIM already cannot promote to admin
(active only maps to user/pending), so this is symmetric.

The connection-layer DNS-rebinding guard (_SSRFSafeResolver / _SSRFSafeAdapter, PR #24759) was
mounted only on SafeWebBaseLoader. Two user-reachable image fetches validate the URL then fetch
it through the shared get_session() pool with the default resolver, so a TTL-0 rebinding answer
that passed validate_url reaches an internal address at connect:
- get_image_base64_from_url (utils/files.py): user image_url on every chat completion.
- load_url_image (routers/images.py, POST /api/v1/images/edit): user-supplied image field.
Add get_ssrf_safe_session() (a one-off aiohttp session mounting _SSRFSafeResolver) and use it
for both fetches, so the connect-time IP is re-validated and a rebound loopback / RFC1918 /
metadata address is rejected. The shared pool is left untouched for the admin-configured
image-generation callers, which legitimately reach internal hosts.

process_uploaded_file auto-links an uploaded file to the knowledge base named in
client-supplied metadata.knowledge_id, but it called Knowledges.add_file_to_knowledge_by_id
directly with no authorization, while the dedicated POST /knowledge/{id}/file/add endpoint
gates the same operation on owner / admin / write grant. A read-only collaborator (or any
verified user who knows the KB id) could therefore attach arbitrary files to a knowledge base
they cannot write: the KnowledgeFile membership row was committed, and the later vector-index
write check failed closed but left the row in place.
Gate the auto-link on the same owner/admin/write check before inserting the membership row;
otherwise skip the link and log. The file still uploads as the user's own file, it just is
not linked to a KB they cannot write.

The decode-until-stable loops in _sanitize_proxy_path (terminals.py, cap 8) and
_safe_static_redirect_path (models.py, cap 2) proceed with whatever remains after the
cap instead of rejecting it. A path encoded more times than the cap therefore exits the
loop still percent-encoded, passes the literal '..' / prefix checks (the dots are still
%2E, not '..'), and is forwarded to the upstream terminal server, or emitted as a
redirect Location, which then decodes it once more and resolves the traversal. This is
the residual of the decode-until-stable hardening added for CVE-2026-54017: the cap is a
fixed depth, not a true stability guarantee.
Reject when the value is still not stable after the cap (unquote(x) != x), so anything
encoded more deeply than the cap fails closed rather than being forwarded. Legitimate
paths stabilize within a pass or two and are unaffected.
