open-webui SafePlaywrightURLLoader SSRF via Redirect Bypass

SafePlaywrightURLLoader validates only the initial URL, not redirect targets.

18 Jun 2026Read 1 minSeverity: act now

What changed

SafePlaywrightURLLoader validates only the initial URL, not redirect targets. An attacker can bypass SSRF protection by using HTTP redirects to reach internal services, even when ENABLE_RAG_LOCAL_WEB_FETCH is False.

Who it affects

Users of Open WebUI with RAG_WEB_LOADER_ENGINE=playwright, regardless of ENABLE_RAG_LOCAL_WEB_FETCH setting.

What to do today

Apply the recommended patch: implement a request interceptor using Playwright's page.route to validate all requests including redirects, or disable the Playwright loader engine until patched.
