Open WebUI is a self-hosted artificial intelligence platform designed to operate entirely offline. Prior to 0.8.11, an internal-only bypass_filter parameter is exposed on the /openai/chat/completions and /ollama/api/chat HTTP endpoints via FastAPI query string binding, allowing any authenticated user to append ?bypass_filter=true and bypass model access control checks to invoke admin-restricted models. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.8.11.

GHSA-v6qf-75pr-p96m — Open WebUI: Authenticated users can bypass model access control via exposed query parameter [AI-ASSISTED]

Affected: PyPI: open-webui

### Summary

An internal-only bypass_filter parameter is exposed on the /openai/chat/completions and /ollama/api/chat HTTP endpoints via FastAPI query string binding, allowing any authenticated user to append ?bypass_filter=true and bypass model access control checks to invoke admin-restricted models.

### Details

The `generate_chat_completion` route handlers in both `routers/openai.py` and `routers/ollama.py` declare `bypass_filter` as a function parameter:

**`routers/openai.py`, line 937–941:**

```python @router.post("/chat/completions") async def generate_chat_completion( request: Request, form_data: dict, user=Depends(get_verified_user), bypass_filter: Optional[bool] = False, ... ): ```

**`routers/ollama.py`, line 1283–1288:**

```python @router.post("/api/chat") async def generate_chat_completion( ... bypass_filter: Optional[bool] = False, ... ): ```

Because FastAPI automatically binds unrecognized function parameters to the query string, any HTTP client can set this value by appending `?bypass_filter=true` to the request URL.

When `bypass_filter` is true, the access control check is skipped entirely:

**`routers/openai.py`, line 980:**

```python if not bypass_filter and user.role == "user": # ACL check — skipped when bypass_filter is True ```

This parameter is intended for internal use only — the server-side chat pipeline in `utils/chat.py` (lines 238, 253) passes `bypass_filter=True` as a Python function argument when making…
