Open WebUI's collection ACL accepted any unknown name as a
legacy/ephemeral collection. In Milvus multi-tenancy mode that name
becomes the `resource_id` and is interpolated unescaped into a SQL-like
Milvus expression — `resource_id == '<name>'` — so a name like
x' or resource_id != '' or resource_id == 'x
turns the filter into a tautology and returns every tenant's chunks
from the shared collection.
All collection names Open WebUI generates are UUIDs, SHA-256 hex
digests, or fixed-prefix variants of those — they all fit
[A-Za-z0-9_-]. Add a strict format check in
filter_accessible_collections (utils.py) that drops any name outside
that set before any ACL or vector-store lookup, applied even on the
admin bypass path. _validate_collection_access then surfaces the dropped
name as a 403.
As defense in depth, MilvusClient now validates resource_id at every
expression-construction site and escapes single quotes / backslashes in
any other string interpolated into a filter (delete ids, metadata
filter values). Non-string filter values are typed-checked instead of
str()-formatted.
