4. High-level Summary
There is a missing authorization check affecting user accounts with a pending status allowing the user to make authenticated API calls as a user context.
11. Technical Analysis
The Open WebUI web application has three user role classifications: user, admin, and pending. By default, when Open WebUI is configured with new sign-ups enabled, the default user role is set to pending. In this configuration, an administrator is required to go into the Admin management panel following a new user registration and reconfigure the user to have a role of either user or admin before that user is able to access the web application. However, this check is only enforced at the client presentation layer, the API does not properly validate that the user has an authorized user role of user.
